1 lb. stew meat

16 oz. can tomato sauce

1 tsp. comino powder

1 or 2 cloves garlic (minced)

1/4 cup oil

water 2 tsp. cilantro

salt to taste

pepper to taste

Brown the meat in oil in a dutch oven or lg. pan. While meat is

browning, in a bowl mix tomato sauce, comino (cumin), garlic and cilantro. When the meat is brown, add potatoes and cook for 5

minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tomato mixture and enough

water to cover all the ingredients, and cook til potatoes are

tender.

Note: For a tastier stew, simmer the browned meat with tomato mixture

2 cups of water for about 30 - 45 minutes, then add the

rest of the ingredients and cook til potatoes are done. You can

also add a can of green beans or peas towards the end of the cooking

time.
