⏱️ 2½ hours
👩🍳 Medium
🍽️ Serves 4
🛒 YOU’LL NEED:
• 700g stewing beef
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 large onion
• 3 medium carrots
• 4 medium potatoes
• 750ml beef stock
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• ⅘ cup water
👩🍳 METHOD:
1️⃣ Pat the beef dry. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and brown the beef in batches. Remove and set aside.
2️⃣ Lower the heat, add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Return the beef to the pot.
3️⃣ Add the carrots and potatoes, pour in the beef stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 1½ hours until the beef is tender.
4️⃣ To make the cabbage dombolo, mix the flour, baking powder and salt, then stir in the shredded cabbage.
5️⃣ Gradually add the water until a soft, sticky dough forms.
6️⃣ Once the stew has simmered for 1½ hours, adjust the seasoning and drop spoonfuls of dough directly into the stew. You should get around 8–10 dombolo.
7️⃣ Cover tightly and simmer for another 30 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid so the steam can make the dombolo soft and fluffy. 😋
8️⃣ Dish up generous bowls and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Prefer a thicker gravy? Mix 1 tbsp flour with 2 tbsp water and stir it into the stew about 15 minutes before serving.
Comfort food, the Pick n Pay way. 🥘❤️
