Gather @eggplant{2}, @white cabbage{300%g}, @chayote{2}, @carrot{2} and @beef chuck{400%g}.

Wash the beef with @lime{1}, season with @garlic{4%clove}, and brown it with @tomato paste{2%tbsp}; add water and simmer 30 minutes. ~{30%minutes}

Add all the vegetables in big pieces with the @scotch bonnet{0.5} on top.

Cover and braise 25 minutes until everything collapses. ~{25%minutes}

Crush the vegetables into the sauce with the back of a spoon — legim is a mash, not a medley.

Serve over white rice or diri kole.
