    Corned Beef Stew

    What is a standard Nigerian family meal without the classic corned beef stew? This stew is everything, corned beef stew is versatile and very easy to make. When you are looking to cook a mid-week family meal on a low budget, this is your go-to meal.

    It is also a perfect breakfast staple. Bring on the fresh boiled new yam or fresh Agege bread and this Nigerian corned beef stew would be saying thanks to you. Let’s get to it my lovelies and don’t forget to drop some lines if you try this corned beef recipe.

    Ingredients

    Tinned Corned beef

    Pepper mix (a combination of blended 3 tomatoes, 1 red bell pepper, 1 onion and 2 scotch bonnet chillies)

    Vegetable oil

    Beef bouillon cube

    Pinch of Salt (optional as I didn't use)

    Curry

    Thyme

    Parsley

    1 small onion

    1 green bell pepper

    corned beef stew on spaghetti and kidney beans

    How to make corned beef stew

    Open the can of corned beef and cut the beef up into chunks and set aside

    Place a pan on medium heat, add vegetable oil, heat for about 2 minutes, add chopped onion and fry till translucent.

    Add pepper mix, curry, thyme and parsley and cook for another 5-8 minutes

    Add seasoning and chopped bell pepper to the sauce and stir till well combined, reduce the heat and stir in between to avoid the sauce burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook sauce till almost well done and oil floating on top

    Do not add salt to the sauce yet as corned beef is a bit salty on its own and the salt content might just be enough for the sauce.

    Add corned beef chunks to the sauce, leave for about 1 minute on low heat before stirring the sauce. Make sure the sauce is well combined with the corned beef. Check if you need to add salt but I’m sure you won’t be needing it. Reduce the heat and cook for another 2 minutes. Take it off the heat
