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.

TOMATO LAMB BREDIE



Tomato Lamb Bredie image

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are from Dinner After Dark: Sexy, Sumptuous Supper Soirées by Colin Cowie. A bredie is the typical slow-cooked stew of Cape Malay cuisine, which is best prepared in a heavy-bottom cast-iron pot or potjie. I've adapted it in a recipe that takes just over an hour to cook. Traditionally, this type of dish would probably have been made with just the lamb knuckles, but I've added the shoulder to provide some additional meat. The sweet and savory flavors are wholly authentic; the dish is like a curry with an extra measure of sweetness to balance the hot spice. You'll taste the delightful hint of cinnamon, which speaks unmistakably of the Orient. It's great with aromatic basmati rice, flavored with chicken stock, turmeric, garlic, and raisins.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 1/2 tablespoons sunflower oil (or some other medium to light vegetable oil)
2 large yellow onions, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
3 bay leaves
3 cinnamon sticks
2 1/2 pounds lamb knuckles, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white wine
1 large ripe tomato (1/2 pound) peeled and chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 spicy red dry chili pepper, crushed (approximately 1 tablespoon; the amount can be adjusted according to taste), or 1/2 tablespoon hot red pepper flakes
2 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 medium potatoes, peeled, quartered and placed in a bowl of cold water
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Place 2 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven, Crock Pot, or cast-iron stew pot over medium heat. Add the onions, bay leaves, and cinnamon sticks and sauté, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the pot and set aside.
  • 2. Dust the meat with flour and divide it into two batches. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot over medium heat, add the first batch of meat, and brown on all sides, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the browned meat from the pot and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pot and repeat the browning process for the second batch. Remove excess grease from the pot by using a large ladle or spoon.
  • 3. Add the white wine to the pot, reduce the heat, and deglaze using a wooden spoon. Return the reserved meat and the onions, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick to the pot. Add the tomato, crushed garlic, salt and pepper, chili, and tomato paste. Cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for 40 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add the potatoes and sugar, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the lid from the pot, stir, and cook, for a final 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve the bredie hot with rice on the side.
