THE TASTIEST LAMB STEW RECIPE

A typical Ghanaian stew has to be packed with flavours, if not your dish will be returned with an outspoken token of displeasure.

This recipe will guarantee you the best tasting stew ever. You can use your preferred meat or poultry for this dish.

 There are a few rules to ensure you make the best stew always.

1. Best to use sun dried Tomatoes 
2. Allow each flavour to develop before you include each ingredient. Eg; Allow the Tomato purée to cook till the oil settles at the top. This allows the Onions and Ginger blend infuse perfectly.
3. Cook on a medium heat to avoid burning your stew.
4. Cook your fresh Tomatoes till the oil separates and it’s slightly darker in colour. This signifies a flavour packed stew.
5. If your Tomatoes are under cooked, then you’ll end up with a sour like taste.

TIP:

Microwave or boil your fresh Tomatoes beforehand to reduce the water content. This cuts your cooking time in half.
