Southern African recipes: Tomato bredie (South Africa)

It has been a while since we posted the last recipe from Southern Africa on the blog, but now I found one that I needed to post about and that you need to check out. In the video recipe, Gabi Le Roux, a South African music producer and avid home cook, explains how to make one of my favourite South African comfort dishes - the tomato breedie. A tomato breedie is a meat dish that can be made with lamb or mutton, or, like in the video, with chicken.



Remember to cook the bredie, which is an old Cape name for a dish of meat and vegetables stewed together, slowly for at least 2.5 hrs. The flavour will also improve if made a day in advance. Serve it with rice. Kudos @ Gabi Le Roux for the video and recipe!

Ingredients:
  • 1kg assorted pieces of chicken (skin on)
  • 3 large potatoes
  • 6 tomatoes
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 (large) onions
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (to your taste)
  • freshly ground pepper
  • salt
  • mixed (italian) herbs
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 chicken stock gel pot
  • 1 tbs butter
  • tomato paste
  • 2 tbs cooking oil
  • 1.5 cups of water
