About Hen'omby Ritra
Hena ritra is a Malagasy beef dish with a concentrated, savoury character. Miomio’s family rendition is associated with her mother’s cooking and features beef, garlic and fresh ginger, with a restrained amount of sauce.
The meat is tender and richly flavoured, with the sharp warmth of ginger and the mellow depth of garlic. Its concentrated juices cling closely to the beef.
A simple tomato achard with onion brings freshness and acidity alongside the meat. Thai rice is another suggested accompaniment, offering a mild contrast to the concentrated beef and bright tomato salad.
