A classic heritage dish in the Cape Malay tradition, tomato bredie is made with mutton, vegetables and a selection of fragrant whole and ground spices. How about putting our simple version of this South African favourite on the table tonight? 

Tips

Use mutton on the bone for your bredie, which gives a better flavour, and make sure your spices are fresh. Don't hurry the cooking of your bredie - this is a stew that benefits from long, gentle simmering. 

Ingredients
  • 45 ml (3 Tbsp) vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 ml Robertsons Ground Cloves
  • 10 ml (2 tsp) Robertsons Black Pepper
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) Robertsons Crushed Chilli, to taste
  • 1 Robertsons Cinnamon Stick
  • 1 kg mutton, cubed
  • 2 x 410 g cans chopped tomatoes
  • 500 ml (2 cups) water
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 10 ml (2 tsp) sugar
  • 30 ml (2 Tbsp) Knorr Brown Onion Soup
Cooking Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pot and brown the onions. Stir in the cloves, pepper, crushed chillies and cinnamon stick.

  2. Add the mutton cubes to the pot and brown them all over. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.

  3. Add the water and simmer for 30 minutes.

  4. Add the potatoes and sugar and simmer for a further 30 minutes.

  5. Mix the Knorr Brown Onion Soup with a little water to form a smooth paste and stir this into the bredie. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and simmer until thickened.
