Tomato Bredie Recipe

Bredie is an old Cape name for a dish of meat and vegetables stewed together so that the flavors marry each other, (trou met mekaar) as they say. The gravy is rich, thick and full-bodied, and is obtained by using meat with a fair amount of bone and fat, rolling it in flour and browning it before the vegetables are added.

Ingredients:

 – 25 ml butter

 – 2 big onions – 1 garlic

 – 3 ripe tomatoes

 – 1.5 kgs beef or lamb chunks – Pinch of salt and pepper

 – 175ml white wine

 – 500g potato chunks

 – 5ml white sugar

Method:

 Put the oil into a casserole dish and heat up, add the lamb or beef, onions, garlic and the white wine.

 Cook for 5 minutes at a medium heat then add the rest of the ingredients.

 Let it simmer for 90 minutes and remove from heatt

Serve with boiled Tastic rice.

Tip from the chef: Bredie always gets better the longer it sits. So try to save some for the next day.

Enjoy!
