Serves 6 – 8

Difficulty Easy

Cooking Time 2 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

4 T oil
5 onions, finely chopped
2 green peppers, seeded and finely chopped
5 chillies, seeded and chopped
5 cloves
5 bay leaves
5 allspice berries
4 cardamom pods
5 sticks cinnamon sticks
2 kg steak, cut into cubes
8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, grated
1 T ground cumin
1 T ground coriander
1 T ground black pepper
1 T sugar

Method

1. In a very large pot, heat the oil and braise the onions, green peppers and chillies with all the whole spices until golden brown, for about 15 minutes.

2. Add the remaining ingredients and braise on a medium to low heat for 2 hours, adding just a little water now and then to prevent burning, and stirring when required.

3. Serve with mashed potatoes or yellow rice and vegetables like carrots, peas, sweetcorn and gem squash.
