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
- 3 ½ pounds lamb or mutton breast chops, chopped into portions
- 2 tablespoons cake flour
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 ¼ pounds fresh tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 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
- 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
- 2 medium potatoes, quartered (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 4
Cook and stir onion in drippings until soft, about 5 minutes. Mix in tomatoes. Return lamb chops to the saucepan; season with bay leaves, bouillon, salt, brown sugar, white peppercorns, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
