Ingredients for 4 people:

750 g beef (shoulder)

Salt

Pepper

Paprika and pepper

2 small onions (each 60 g)

4 garlic cloves

80 g lean black forest ham (sliced thinly)

4 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons tomato paste

300 ml dry red wine

100 g whipped cream

60 g dark chocolate (min. 70% cocoa)

250 g wide egg noodles

1 red chili pepper

1 teaspoon cornstarch

½ tsp cinnamon

Preparation

Wash meat, pat dry, cut into cubes and place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper. Peel the onions and garlic, both finely chop. Cut 4 slices of the ham, into squares (about 1 x 1 cm).

Heat oil in a roasting pan 3 tablespoons of oil. Sauté beef and ham 3-4 minutes on all sides. Add onions, tomato paste and garlic and fry briefly. When the meat pulls juices, add red wine and broth. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the cream lightly, chop finely and melt chocolate in the cream set aside to cool.

Cut the chili pepper open, remove seeds and cut into strips.

Ham Chips: Cut remaining ham slices into 4 squares. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large flat pan and lay the ham flat. Cover, vent for steam, and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain and toss with butter and parsely.

Mix starch with cold water. Stir cream and chocolate mixture into pan with the chili and cinnamon. Stir in starch slurry, continue stirring, and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken. Serve noodles and beef stew on warm plates, garnish with ham chips and oregano.

Preparation time about 1 1 / 4 hours.

 
Wow Richard- you are prolific today. The recipes all look wonderful! Have you made this one?

I am going to try this one and others you posted.

 
Cathy I'm plannng my next dinner party...

which is for some old friends of German heritage (of course, one cannot sling a dead cat around this city without hitting someone of German ancestry) and I want it to be a cozy affair arrayed on the sideboard on bountiful platters for a nice cozy gemütlich "dinner at Omas Haus" evening.

I haven't made this one, but it was so unusual I wanted to share it. I'm planning to give it a spin ASAP. If you make it let me know how it turns out. I got the recipe out of "Kochen und Geniessen" Germany's version of "Gourmet" and everything I've ever made from their recipes has turned out wonderful.
