Mediterranean Beef Stew
This is a hearty and flavoursome beef stew inspired by the Mediterranean. It is based on a dish cooked by Keith Floyd in his Floyd around the Med TV series. The olives make this a filling meal in itself, but it could be served with rice or simply with bread to mop-up the gravy.

- 600 g (1.3 lb) of green olives, stones removed
