  • 3 large shallots, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped

  7. Add bay leaves and garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Add the tomatoes and meat. Stirring occasionally, cook another 5 minutes.
  9. Add the Worcestershire, about 6-8 c. of the stock, lemon juice and sherry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  11. Add parsley, green onions and eggs. Simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Taste for seasoning.
  12. Garnish with parsley and additional chopped egg.
  13. When serving, place sherry on the side for guests to add more if they like.
Notes
*****This is one of those dishes I probably would not prepare. I think men like to do this dish. I just enjoy the end product. There are many variations to this dish.
