TOMATO BREDIE

Tomato Bredie image

This is a traditional South African meal, and is good winter fare. Bredie is an old Cape name for a dish of meat and vegetables stewed together so that the flavors intermingle. 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. The flavor improves if left a day or two before eating. Nice with brown rice.

Tips:

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This is essential for a delicious stew. Choose tomatoes that are deep red and have a slightly sweet smell.
Brown the meat well: This will add a lot of flavor to the stew. Don't be afraid to let it get a little crispy around the edges.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to the stew. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
Season the stew well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of heat with chili powder or cayenne pepper.
Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
