This tomato stew with spaghetti is one of my children’s favorite meals. They just love it, especially with parmesan cheese on top, yum yum! Today, I want to show you how I cook my tomato stew with African meatballs without bouillon cubes.
The stew is made in two steps: first, you need to cook the meatballs. You can find the recipe for the meatball here. After that, you can cook the tomato stew by frying the chopped onion for a short time. Then you add the tomato when it is cooked, you add the remaining ingredients. Please follow the instructions below to have all the details.
