Ingredients:

1.5kg meat (goat, beef, mutton, chicken)
100ml groundnut oil

1 garlic clove, finely chopped
250ml tomato purée
3 bayleaves
1 hot chilli

Method:

Heat the oil in a pan, add the meat in batches and fry until nicely coloured all over. Add the meat, in batches, and fry until nicely browned all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and fry the next batch.

Add the onions and garlic and fry for about 6 minutes, or until lightly coloured. Mix the tomato purée with a little water and pour into the pan then return the meat to the pan.

Season to taste, bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Add 1l water then add the vegetables, bayleaves, hot chilli and bouillon cubes. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 1 hour (for red meat) and 30 minutes for chicken, or until the meat is tender.
