Ingredients
Quantities change with servings; cooking times stay the same.
Method
Brown beef lightly in oil, then add onion and cook until softened.
Add tomato paste and tomatoes and cook until the sauce reduces.
Add water or stock and simmer the beef for 25 minutes.
Add eggplant and okra and continue simmering until the vegetables are very tender and the stew thickens.
Season and serve over rice.
Chef’s notes
Allow the eggplant to soften fully into the sauce. Okra thickens the stew naturally, so add extra water only if the pot becomes too dry.
Substitutions
Use lamb or chicken instead of beef. Leave out the chili for a milder version.
Serve with
Steamed rice
Storage
Refrigerate for up to 3 days and reheat to a steady simmer.
Allergens
