Tomato Bredie is a South African lamb and tomato stew that simmers gently until the meat is tender and the sauce turns rich and tangy-sweet. Bay leaves, pepper, a touch of vinegar, and brown sugar round out the flavor, with soft potatoes soaking up the gravy. Ideal for a comforting dinner on a cool evening.

1

Warm the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
2

Coat the lamb in flour, then shake off any excess.
3

Brown the lamb in the hot oil on all sides. Move the lamb to a plate, leaving the drippings in the pan.
4

Cook and stir the onion in the drippings until softened, about 5 minutes.
5

Stir in the tomatoes. Return the lamb chops to the saucepan; season with bay leaves, bouillon, salt, brown sugar, white peppercorns, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
6

Cover, lower the heat, and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
7

Stir in the potatoes; continue cooking until the potatoes are done and the meat is tender, about 45 minutes more.
