Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the stew, covered, for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste, soy sauce, all-purpose flour, and water to create a slurry.

Step 8

Stir the slurry into the stew and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until the stew thickens.

Step 9

Season the stew with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 10

Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
