Stew with Potatoes and Peas

Stew with potatoes and peas.

In a classic pot, pressure cooker, and with the Bimby.
It’s a classic dish of Italian cuisine, but every place has its own recipe, some make it white, some with tomatoes, and some with potatoes and peas.
Today, I present it to you as my grandmother used to make it. She used the muscle.
For many, the muscle part might not seem the most suitable, but we’ve always found it to work well.
