Bredie, stew or casserole

What's in a name? People often ask. Well, as a few of us said yesterday in a cross-the-seas chat, it depends on your mother tongue and where you come from. A casserole is a fancy name for a stew. A bredie is the Afrikaans word for stew.

Last night's butternut bredie (casserole). Based on a traditional South African mutton stew slow cooked and spiced with ginger and cinnamon. I substituted the pumpkin with butternut. Served with wilted Swiss Chard freshly picked. And with rice for The Husband.

Revamped recipe coming to the blog soon. Along with a bit of etymology on the side.

Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts because of this.
