IMPALA POTJIE/STEW

Thanks for the recipe: http://www.nmglobe.com/impala-potjie/

Ingredients

• 500g impala or other wild meat like Buffalo, Blesbuck or Kudu
• 1 onion
• 2 tablespoons garlic
• 2 potatoes
• 3 carrots
• 6 baby marrows
• 100g mushrooms
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 sachet hearty beef stew

Note

This dish is normally made in a fire proof pot over charcoal taken from a fire. If that is not possible,  you can make it in a stew pot on the stove.

Directions

Step 1	Prepare a fire to produce coals. (If not possible, prepare in a normal big pot on the stove.)
Step 2	Chop onion and fry in a pan until soft, then add garlic.
Step 3	Cut meat and include bones as well for flavour. Fry meat until brown.
Step 4	Place meat and onion in the bottom of the potjie pot (or normal pot).
Step 5	Peel and chop potato and place on top of the meat, followed by chopped carrot and then baby marrows.
Step 6	Now place on chopped mushrooms and tomatoes.
Step 7	Mix beef stew sachet with 300ml water and 1 tbs corn flour. Add mix to the pot. Add any extra water needed so there is a little less water than needed to cover all vegetables.
Step 8	Bring to the boil on coals, then simmer for 4 hours. Do not stir for first two hours. Take off lid towards the end if too watery.
