Wash the beef with lime, season with garlic, and brown it with tomato paste; add water and simmer 30 minutes.
Add all the vegetables in big pieces with the scotch bonnet on top.
Cover and braise 25 minutes until everything collapses.
Crush the vegetables into the sauce with the back of a spoon β legim is a mash, not a medley.
π‘ Cook it past pretty. The flavor lives on the far side of appearance.
Serve over white rice or diri kole.
Legim is the everyday backbone of Haitian home cooking: mixed vegetables crushed into a rich, dark braise, usually with a little meat for depth. It looks humble and eats like a feast over rice.
