Beef and Pork Guiso

Beef and Pork Guiso is a slow-simmered stew packed with tender bites of beef and pork bathed in a bold, tangy broth. Bell peppers, olives, giardiniera, capers, and cilantro layer in briny heat and herbal freshness, balanced by adobo, cumin, and a splash of red wine. Serve it as a hearty dinner on its own, over rice or pasta, or with chips for scooping.
