African Cabbage Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add avocado oil to the warm pan and heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Add sausage pieces, cut-side down, and heat until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and brown on the other side, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer sausage to a plate and reserve juices in the pan.
• Add carrots, potatoes, and onion to the Dutch oven and stir to coat with pan juices. Add chicken broth and black pepper, stirring to combine. Return browned sausage to the pan on top of the vegetables, and place cabbage wedges on top of kielbasa. Bring broth to a boil, about 5 minutes, then cover the Dutch oven and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are fork tender, about 20 minutes.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove all vegetables and sausage pieces and set aside in a bowl. At this point, cabbage may be cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Place flour in a small bowl and add enough water to make a thin paste, stirring until all lumps dissolve. Whisk liquid in the Dutch oven constantly while gradually adding flour mixture until liquid boils again, about 5 minutes. Return vegetables and sausage to the Dutch oven and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve in individual bowls.

Steps:

• NOTE: IF USING CABBAGE OMIT WATER OR USE SPARINGLY SO POT DOES NOT BURN AS CABBAGE DRAWS A LOT OF WATER.
• Heat oil in heavy casserole or soup pot. Add cloves, peppercorns, and allspice. Once it starts sizzling add onions. Brown your onions nicely (my mom always said that if you brown the onions to a nice golden colour you will have a better tasting and looking bredie; not browning the onions nicely will give you a grey colour bredie which we don't want).
• Add meat and simmer slowly till meat is done and well browned.
• Add salt, chillies, ginger and garlic paste and sugar and half cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes until flavours are well blended.
• Add your cabbage/ cauliflower and potatoes and cook until vegetables are soft about 20 minutes. Use the remaining water only if you find that it is necessary, (the pot is becoming dry).
• Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving.
• Serve with white rice and sambals and atjar. Cucumber and onion sambal goes well with this dish.
• Peel cucumber grate it then put 5ml salt and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Squeeze moisture out. Add some slice onion, 1 green chilie chopped, 5ml sugar and 30 ml vinegar. Good with hot curries.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable stock, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add remaining stock, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, brown rice, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover the stew. Simmer until sweet potatoes and rice are tender, about 45 minutes.
• Combine peanut butter with 1/2 cup of the liquid from the stew. Stir into a smooth paste.
• Add the peanut butter mixture and kale to the stew. Cook until kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, soy sauce, and hot pepper sauce.
