Carrot "Bredie" (Stew)
Carrot Bredie is a traditional South African vegetable dish, It's sort of like mashed potatoes but with a more round and pleasing flavour.
Ingredients
1 onion, chopped
1 Tablespoon oil
8 carrots, washed, scraped, and chopped
2 potatoes, washed, scraped, and chopped
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
1 cup water
How to make
Measure the oil into a skillet, and heat over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, and cook until the onion is golden brown.
Add the vegetables and the seasoning.
Add the water and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat and place a cover on the pot, but leave it ajar, to allow steam to escape.
Let the bredie simmer until the water has evaporated and the vegetables are soft.
Remove from heat and mash.
Serve immediately with a little butter stirred in.
