Thoughtful Saturdays :Beef and Broccoli Spicy Tomato Stew!!

 

 
Moral of today’s lesson Broccoli isn’t for Asian cooking only,Africans can incorporate it into our meals!

ingredients(for 4 people)

1/2 kgFresh tomatoes

I/4 Fresh red habenero peppers

1 red onion bulb (half sliced,half blended)

One head of fresh broccoli 

1 pack of cubed red beef(about one kg)

3 knorr cubes/boullion cubes

2 1/2 cups groundnut

Salt to taste

  
DIRECTIONS ONE POT STYLE

Blend tomatoes into a semi smooth paste

   
Like this..

 
Stir fry your beef till its brown in groundnut oil,Knorr  cubes,till it goes brown  
Peel off broccoli from stalk and set aside

  

Pour in your tomato paste into your beef pot and 1/2 cup of groundnut oil. Add spices of your voice. I personally don’t like to add any spices,except boullion cubes and salt,because I find that the natural flavors of fresh tomatoes,onions and pepper are just perfectly delicious. I also skip totally on tinned tomatoes because I think it takes away from the natural theme of my stew. Lol.slice the other part of your onions   
  

Stir fry it till it is pale and slightly wilted  ,throw in your broccoli too and season with salt slightly 
  Your tomato and meat mixture should have thickend beautifully by now. Add your broccoli and onion stir fry mixture in and stir them all in perfectly. Taste and see if it needs any extra seasoning,if it does,knock yourself out.

  

So good! Serve with rice,spaghetti,yam,potatoes,plantains …
 

Garnish with spring onions,for pretty purposes and extra flavor.
