Green Bean Stew (Bredie)

Mon, 27 May 2024 19:37:12 +0000

This is one of those warm nostalgic childhood memories. My mother used to make these pots of comfort very often, I would say stews raised me. It was always served with rice and sweet and sour beetroot salad.

So as the season is currently changing I thought it would be great idea to start the chilly season off on a warm note. This is a recipe that I have worked on, I think it works well with beef as well as lamb or mutton. Preferably use stewing cuts with a little fat in them, I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.

I N G R E D I E N T S

2 tbsp Vegetable oil
200g Onions roughly chopped
2 Bay leaf
3 Cloves
500g Stewing beef / Goulash or soft shin
500ml Beef stock
250g Potatoes
2 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
200g Green beans, topped, tailed and halved.
Salt to taste

METHOD

Add oil to the pressure cooker, as well as the onions, bay leaf, and cloves, sauté until soft.
Remove the onions and brown the stewing beef.
When the onions are done add the beef stock, potatoes, and black pepper.
Follow the instructions of the pressure cooker manufacturer and pressure cook the items until the meat is soft, 30 - 45min.
As soon as the meat is soft, add the green beans and cook without a lid until the beans are soft.
Push the beans under the cooking liquid, do not overcook.
You want the liquid the reduce to a thin sauce consistency.
Serve with rice and beetroot.

Relishing the idea of a Distinct Burger Relish

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:42:48 +0000

I have been looking for a home-made hamburger relish for a while now. This is a recipe I found and tweaked into something I would think proper for a burger of distinction. Just pop this relish, fresh lettuce and cheese onto a freshly grilled burger roll and a home made beef patty (recipe to follow) and you have a reaaaallly good meal. This has been the closest I have come to anything that I am happy with. If you do have a really good relish recipe to share...please do.

Ingredients:

1 onion, sliced
1 each red, yellow and green pepper, cored, seeded and sliced
1 celery stalk chopped finely
1 cinnamon sticks
12 whole cloves
4 whole pimento’s
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 tbsp. salt
2 tins chopped tomatoes
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon turmeric
3 cups cold water
2 cups vinegar
1 tbsp. BBQ salt

Method:

On a low heat fry the onion, peppers, celery, mustard seeds and salt together with the cinnamon, cloves and pimento until the vegetables are soft.

Add the tinned tomatoes, sugar, turmeric, water and vinegar, increase the heat while being mindful not to let it burn. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce on low heat to a chutney consistency about 40minutes to an hour. Remove the whole spices and season with the BBQ salt. Let it cool and refrigerate
