A traditional recipe and a camp favourite, oxtail bredie is one of the highlights of The Boma at Xigera. The oxtail is slow-braised in a potjie, with aromatic vegetables, tomatoes and a blend of spices, creating a wonderful aroma.
A 'bredie' is a word of Cape Malay origin, meaning stew, which is cooked in a 'potjie' a Southern Africa cast iron pot. It is a slow cooking process over an ember of wood-fired coals. You can recreate this at home using a pot or pan.
