Waterblommetjiebredie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waterblommetjiebredie is a stew. The name comes from the Afrikaans "water"-"blommetjie" (small flower)-"bredie" (stew). It is made of meat stewed together with a flower (the Cape Pondweed) found in the dams and marshes of the Western Cape only. The buds (waterblommetjies) are usually ready to be picked in the months of July and August.
The taste can be described as much like stewed green beans with a hint of pumpkin with a little "pond" taste about it.
