I asked for this recipe after a recent trip to South Africa with my church. This stew includes lots of fresh garden vegetables and meat. I've made it for my friends on several occasions, and they thought it was great and enjoyed the interesting combination of flavors. It's traditionally served with brown rice or pumpkin fritters.—Dennis Kuyper, Creston, Iowa

For all those vegetables, one cup of liquid is not even close to being enough. I have a large slow cooker; it was packed so full I had to squash it down to get the lid on; after 9 hours the meat was dry, the veggies were cooked nicely (although they didn't look nearly as appetizing as what shows in the picture!), but there was not nearly enough liquid to add cornstarch to in order to make any kind of gravy; although I suppose I could drain the vegetables, make a gravy with what liquid there is, and then add it back. But the meat is really quite inedible. It could be my crock pot, I suppose, but even looking at it from the beginning, I was skeptical that it would work.
