Description
A simple, hearty, and economical meal, especially popular in South African homes. Salted corned beef is slow-cooked with tender cabbage and potatoes, creating a comforting and flavourful dish.
Ingredients
- 1 can (340g) Corned beef (tinned)
- 1 medium cabbage, roughly chopped
- 2-3 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 large onion, roughly chopped (optional)
- 30ml (2 tbsp) oil or butter (optional, for sautéing onion)
- 250ml (1 cup) Beef stock or water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- If using onion, heat oil/butter in a large pot. Sauté onion until soft.
- Add the chopped cabbage and potatoes to the pot.
- Pour in the beef stock or water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and cabbage are tender.
- Open the can of corned beef. Gently break it up into chunks (or slice it if you prefer) and add it to the pot with the vegetables.
- Stir gently to combine, ensuring the corned beef is heated through. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. The corned beef is salty, so taste before adding too much extra salt.
- Serve hot as a hearty meal.
