    A Bredie in South Africa is a stew. This recipe comes from Tannie Evita (Auntie Evita) a afrikaans lady portrayed by the comedian Pieter Dirk Uys . It's a straight-forward, non-fussy recipe, so it's one you'll be able to throw together during a busy week day to ensure your family gets a nutritious yet tasty dinner.

    • 1 cinnamon stick

    Directions

    1. Peel and cut pumpkin into large pieces.
    2. Sauté onion in oil in a large, heavy-based pot until transparent.
    3. Cut lamb into small chunks and place on top of onions.
    4. Add chopped chilli and ginger, cinnamon stick, salt and a little water if necessary.
    5. Cook for half an hour, then add pumpkin pieces and cook for a further half hour, covered, until soft.
