Рецепт RICH LAMB & TOMATO BREDIE
In South Africa, this particular stew is an old Cape dish called a bredie. What gives a bredie its unique character is the long, slow simmering until the meat and vegetables melt together in the rich, full-bodied gravy. In addition to the potatoes and onion there is always a dominant vegetable such as cabbage, beans or pumpkin.
Serve it with a bowl of steaming rice to soak up the juices.

Инструкции
- Lamb cuts suitable for stewing include shanks, neck chops and shoulder chops.
- Dust lamb with flour and brown in heated oil. Set aside.
- Add bay leaves and onions and gently cook until onions have softened
- Add really ripe tomatoes. (or tinned tomatoes) sprinkled with sugar and lemon zest.
- Add salt and pepper and peppercorns.
- Cover and simmer for about 2 hours.
- Add potatoes, cover and continue to cook for 30-40 minutes.
- Serve with piping hot steamed rice.
- NOTE For a delicious variation, use green beans, cabbage or pumpkin/butternut instead of tomatoes.
- The basic recipe remains the same but omit the sugar. In addition you will need 1 cup well-reduced meat stock, preferably home-made. (Tomatoes have their own juices; beans do not have as much.) The stock is added after the onions have softened, then 1 kg sliced green beans are stirred in.
- To skin tomatoes - immerse in boiling water for a few minutes - skins will just peel away.
- Chop and use.
