Miss SA Top 30’s Zimi Mabunzi heats up the kitchen

 “My sister could and still makes the heartiest meals out of the least ingredients, that’s what I love most about cooking. She taught me so much and puts so much fun into cooking. I always look forward to cooking for the family and one day hosting dinner parties at my own place.”

 



For those who want to try Mabunzi’s umngqusho and beef stew recipe, here it is …
 
Zimi Mabunzi’s Umngqusho & Beef Stew
 
For the Samp & Beans
1 cup of samp
¼ cup of beans
Full pot of water 
1 beef stock cube
Aromat
1 tsp of Holsum fat (optional but makes it super yum!)
 
Method
Cook the samp and beans in the water until soft and edible. Then add the stock cube, Aromat and fat and cook for about 3 hours.
 
For the Beef Stew
1kg stewing beef
1 tbsp of oil
1 onion, chopped
2 red peppers, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp Mother-in-Law spice (or more if you like your stew hot!)
1 tbsp chutney
1 cube of beef stock 
1 tbsp paprika
 
Add oil to a pot and over a medium heat brown the beef. Remove the meat and, in the same pot, add the onion, peppers, garlic and beef stock and cook until onion is soft.
Then add the salt (to taste), paprika, Mother-in Law-spice, chutney and a generous amount of water and cook – stirring regularly - until meat is tender.
