Denningvleis

Denningvleis is a traditional stew. It's prepared with a combination of mutton or lamb, onions, garlic, tamarind, allspice, bay leaves, cloves, and nutmeg. It's important to use as little water as possible and braise the meat slowly when preparing this hearty stew. The ideal cuts of lamb include shoulder chop, loin chop, ribs, shanks, or rack of lambs. Once prepared, the stew is traditionally served with geelrys (South African yellow rice), while a glass of light red wine makes for a perfect pairing.
