Try our delicious Cabbage Bredie! This traditional South African stew is packed with tender meat, fresh cabbage, and a blend of savory spices which will make your taste buds dance. Perfect for a cozy night in or sharing with loved ones.
Ingredients
- 1 kg stewing beef or stewing mutton
- 2 large onions, peeled and finely chopped
- 60 ml of oil
- 5ml allspice
- 2ml ground cloves
- Salt to taste
- Spices of your choice for taste. BBQ, steak, and chops, etc.
- 2 tsp garlic, grated
- 1 head of cabbage, rinsed and sliced, but be careful as it should not be too thin
- 6–8 potatoes, peeled and halved
Instructions
- In a large pot, on medium-high heat add the oil and onions and sauté.
- Add the meat and garlic and brown meat well, stirring occasionally.
- Next add the salt, pepper, and spices, (this dish is better with a little more pepper than usual) to a cup of water and cook on medium heat until meat is almost tender, about 40–50 minutes, depending on the cut of meat, adding a little water as required to prevent burning and make sure to stir occasionally.
- Add the cabbage and fry with the meat.
- Stir to allow cabbage to brown and cook evenly.
- Add potatoes to the dish and a little water if needed,
- Cook until potatoes are soft.
- Serve with white rice.

Good eve,
I’m trying out your cabbage recipe tomorrow. I also tried to download fir the recipes but was denied by your website. I’d be delighted to follow your recipes for our cold weather in South Africa..🙏 It’s only my husband and I ” Seniors” in my home.
Hi June, hope you will enjoy the cabbage recipe. I checked the recipe, and it’s an older one in a different format, that’s the reason why not able to print it. I will update it immediate for you, then you should find a “Print” button to use.
You can also click on the Cook Mode to prevent your screen from going dark while you need to see the recipe. Hope this will help.
