Green Bean Stew

Description:

We can’t think of anything more wholesome or comforting than lamb stew. The soft, slow-cooked meat with its tomato sauce is rich, filling and incredibly satisfying. In this version of the classic South African tomato bredie, some green beans have been added – giving the dish extra nutrients, colour and taste. This recipe is the definition of delectable and definitely one to serve if you want to spoil your family or make a memorable impression on dinner guests.
