Antroewa is a small, round green fruit from the same family as the eggplant, with firm flesh, many soft seeds and a slightly bitter undertone. In Suriname, you buy it at the warung and it usually goes into the stew, with saltfish or salted meat.
Cut the antroewa into slices and not into small pieces, and stir as little as possible once the lid is on the pan. This way it keeps its shape and absorbs the tomato and fish sauce, while small pieces stew into mush in fifteen minutes.
Only taste for salt at the end, because the saltfish still gives off salt after a night of soaking. Those who prefer to use salted meat cook that separately first and then stew it along in the same way.
