As most bredie (stews) it is comfort food, food that you cook for family and friends, food eaten with laughter and wine, slowly cooked so that the meat and waterblommetjies get to know each other well, unless the craving becomes to big in the middle of the week, then you grab the pressure cooker.

Waterblommetjie Bredie Recipe: (With a Pressure Cooker)

Ingredients:

1 kg lamb shanks cut cross wise in 1.5 cm pieces

1.5 kg waterblommetjies

2 medium onions chopped

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 tin Rhodes apricots drained

Cake flour to dust meat

4 to 5medium potatoes quartered

1 lemon’s zest

1 cup water

½ tsp ground coriander

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

1 to 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Olive oil

Salt

Black pepper

Method:

Dust the meat with the cake flour. Heat a little oil in your pot and brown the meat.

When the meat is browned, add the onions to the pot and fry until soft, when almost soft, add the garlic.

When the onions are soft, add the meat and flavor with salt, pepper, coriander and Worchestire sauce. Add the water, deglaze the bottom of the pot, then place the lid and cook until the meat is soft.

Now add half of the waterblommetjies and cook for a further thirty minutes.

Now add the apricots, potatoes and the rest of the waterblommetjies. Close the lid and lower the stove temperature, we want to cook at a much lower heat from now on

Cook the stew until the potatoes and the last of the waterblommetjies are soft, about 5 minutes before serving, add the lemon zest to add some life to the pot.
