Green Bean Stew

Recipe by Phaeoacremonium Wikified by Drimble Wedge

This is something my mum used to make and I suspect it is something that everyone's mum/gran made at some point. I like this dish because it has no super-exotic ingredients and it can be made anywhere, at any time but it still tastes like a rainy evening in the Cape.

Traditional Cape cuisine of all kinds is heavily sheep-based and some of the world's finest lamb and mutton can be found locally. I tend to prefer mutton for stews and curries since it is much cheaper but also a lot more tasty than lamb.

This dish is similar to a Waterblommetjiebredie with the vegetable mentioned in the OP, and the green beans can be substituted with waterblommetjies or used 50/50, which is kind of nice. It is almost waterblommetjie season, but I decided to go for it with green beans instead.

So. Ingredients.
