    Fried beef stew is one of Nigeria’s classic dishes, one of the tomato stew recipes that must be in every Nigerian household. Beef stew is made with tomatoes, red bell pepper, scotch bonnet (ata-rodo), onions and of course beef.
    Ingredients
    2 red bell peppers
    400 g canned chopped tomatoes
    1 medium onion
    3 scotch Bonnet
    3 tsp chicken bouillon powder use according to preference
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp oregano optional to boil the beef
    1 kg beef
    1 cup veg oil or as needed
    ½ tsp curry optional
    ½ tsp thyme optional
    1 teaspoon dried parsley

    Very important to boil the meat with seasoning, then fry it! 😋

    Looks delicious. You could have also let us know the proportion of the tomatoes and pepper before blending too, that would have really helped those who don't know the first thing about cooking.

    I just tried this tonight and it was so delicious! I had to modify it and use mild peppers for my toddler and even myself because scotch bonnet is a lot spicier than the jalapeños and hot sauces I’m used to. The flavors were incredible and it looked just like the video. I don’t know if it was the proper way to eat it but we tried it with plantain fufu and my whole family loved it. I will be using more of your recipes in the future!

    We love your recipes in my house! This is the 3rd time I’ve made this stew. I like yours better than some other recipes I’ve tried. I’m so thankful for your in depth blog recipe and this video. I started fire broiling my peppers before adding to the pepper mic and that has really added something!

    • @TheAdultLife
      @TheAdultLife 3 роки тому +1

      You can use it to thin out the stew if it gets too thick, also adds some flavour.

    • @myactivekitchen5494
      @myactivekitchen5494  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you for the feedback, I am glad you enjoyed it. You can use the stock in your rice or soup dishes, it can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months too.

    If one cannot find Scotch Bonnet peppers, they can use their more available (in the US) relative, the Habanero.
