This hearty braised Springbok dish combines the richness of tender boney meat with a vibrant medley of mixed vegetables, potatoes, and tomatoes, all simmered in a savory tomato sauce.

Perfect for a comforting dinner, this dish balances traditional South African ingredients with a modern twist.

• 400g Springbok boney meat
• 100g mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and bell peppers)
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 200ml tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
