Tomato Bredie

Tomato Bredie

Tomato bredie is a popular South African meal and 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 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.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cube beef bouillon cube
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 6 whole white peppercorns
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.

Dredge lamb in flour; shake off excess.

Step 3
Cook lamb in hot oil until browned all over. Transfer lamb to a plate, reserving drippings in the pan.
