MIXED BEAN STEW
Mixed been stew is a staple food at foods of the Cape. The mix beans in tins can be turned into a salad, or a curry or a breedie and is also fantastic as a side dish as a braai. But today I going to make it into a stew since it is one of the favorite foods of the cape.
Ingredients:
2 to 3 onion
half kg shin
2 tins of mixed beans
1 tsp of garlic
1 tsp oreganum
1 tsp mint
1 tsp sweet basil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white or black pepper
Slice onions and washed the meat and clean off excess fat and sinue. Braise meat with the sliced onions in a medium sized pot until the meat is nicely sheared and the onions golden brown. Add salt, pepper and garlic and add water as needed until the meat is tender. Add the 2 tins of mixed bean and allow it simmer for about 15 mins, add the oreganum, mint and basil and simmer for a further 15 mins. The aroma will prompt you that the food is done. Cook rice in salt water and when cooked, drain and steam the rice until dry. Serve four and there would be sufficient for a second helping.
