  1. Fry the pancetta in a pan without oil until it gets color. Add the onion and cook until golden and caramelized.
  2. Add the carrot, black pepper, thyme, paprika, chili flakes, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir off the heat to prevent the paprika from burning.
  3. Return the pan to the heat, add the butter, tomato paste, and ajvar. Fry briefly, then add Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, garlic, and white wine.
  4. Add the chicken liver and chicken stock, and let the stew simmer until it thickens. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for a few more minutes.

  1. Boil the potatoes with the skin on in salted water until tender. Peel and mash them.
