  • Makes: 1 serving (465 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Gluten-free, Dairy-free
  • Contains: beef

Ingredients

  • 40 g Beef, dried
  • 10 g Vegetable oil
  • 30 g Onions, raw
  • 4 g Garlic, raw
  • 0.5 g Paprika
  • 100 g Potatoes, raw

Method

  1. Soak the dried beef in water 20 minutes to soften and reduce saltiness, then drain and shred.
  2. Heat the oil in a pot and sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, then add the shredded beef and paprika and cook 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the potato, pumpkin, and water; simmer 15-18 minutes until tender, mashing some of the vegetables to thicken slightly.
  4. Stir in the corn and cook 5 minutes more; taste before adding any extra salt, since the dried beef is already seasoned, and serve hot.
