About Beef Stew
This beef stew follows recipe54 in the IITA collection of commonly consumed foods in Eswatini. Its required base is beef, water, tomato, onion and salt, with vegetables and other additions explicitly optional.
Tomato and onion supply the main vegetable flavour around the beef. Optional garlic adds pungency, while soup powder may contribute seasoning according to the product chosen.
Pieces of beef share the pot with tomato and onion. Potato, carrot and green pepper can add further vegetable pieces, giving the stew a mixture of meat and vegetables.
