Veal & Red Bell Pepper Stew - Le Trinquet Restaurant, Basque

swissms's Note:

Axoa d'Espelette. A delicious veal stew that is slightly spicy. "Espelette is a slightly piquant red pepper grown in the Basque region of France and Spain." In this recipe, a combination of red bell peppers and a little cayenne makes a good substitute.
