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.

This tomato bredie is a great way to use up leftover meat. I used some leftover pork loin and it turned out great. The flavors were simple but delicious, and the meat was very tender. I will definitely be making this again.

I found this tomato bredie to be a bit bland. I think it needed more spices and herbs to really bring out the flavor. I also found the meat to be a bit tough. Overall, I was disappointed with this recipe.
