Method
- In a bowl, combine all the diced peppers and onions and mix well.
- Heat the oil in a medium-to-large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mixed peppers and onion and sauté until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the grated carrots and cook together for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the corned beef and mix gently to combine. Stir in the tomatoes and add the sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Allow to cook for 5 – 10 minutes.
- Season with cayenne pepper, thyme, salt and Italian herbs spice and mix well. Stir in the garlic and ginger.
- Stir in the Bovril, ensuring it is evenly combined. Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Serve hot with pap, rice, samp and beans, or fresh bread.
