Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Flavor Base

    Add the Ginger, Shallots, Aniseed, Garlic and Chilli to a blender. Blend till you have a silky smooth consistency. Add the blended Ginger mix to the oil and fry gently for 10 minutes or until you have a thick consistency and the oil separates from the mixture.

  3. 3

    Tomato Mixture

    Add the blended Plum tomatoes and fry gently for 25 - 30 minutes. Ensure you stir to prevent the bottom from catching. Cook the stew till the oil separates.

  4. 4

    Seasoning

    Add the Nutmeg, Bay leaves, mixed spice and cook for 2 minutes. Add salt to taste and cook for another 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Rest

    Leave the stew to cool down completely and transfer it into a sealed bowl. Leave the stew in the fridge at least for 24hrs. This will allow all the flavours to infuse for a tastier stew.
