#Heritage month in South Africa, what is better than Waterblommetjiebredie. When in season, I can’t stop making different stews and combinations with them.

“Waterblommetjiebredie is a stew. The name comes from the Afrikaans language and literally means 'little water flowers stew'. It is made of meat, typically lamb, stewed together with the waterblommetjies which are found in the dams and marshes of the Western Cape of South Africa” ~ Wikipedia ~
