kombisse

Kombisse is a traditional South African dish that is popular in the Western Cape region, particularly in the Cape Winelands. The name "kombisse" is derived from the Afrikaans word "kombuis," which means kitchen, and "bisse," which means bits or pieces. The dish is a hearty, comforting stew made with a variety of ingredients, typically including meat (such as beef, lamb, or chicken), vegetables (like carrots, potatoes, and turnips), and a thick, flavorful gravy. The meat is often slow-cooked with spices and herbs, and the vegetables are added towards the end of the cooking process to retain their texture and nutrients. Kombisse is often served with bread or rice, and it is a staple dish in many South African households, especially during colder months. The dish's versatility and comforting nature have made it a beloved part of South African cuisine.
