The best Italian tomato sauce
A flavourful and versatile tomato sauce is such an amazing staple to have in your kitchen. It’s really worth making a big batch while you’re at it – do this on the weekend, when you have time. You can add almost any protein to this sauce. For some recipes the sauce can be the base for the meal (see the Easy chicken parmesan in the tips in the recipe) and other times it’s a delicious accompaniment.
Koesisters, the Cape Malay way
For those who love the aroma of sweet spices, as much as I do, this is one of the best sweet treats you’ll ever eat. Although this is also a yeast-based dough, deep fried and then covered in a sweet syrup, the flavours are delicate and completely different to plaited koeksisters that most South African’s know and love so much. This is the perfect recipe to make as a family. Some can shape the dough, while others fry and roll – a fun and lekker activity.
Steamed bread with Peppadews® & cheese
This bread is warm, soft and utterly fluffy! Enjoy it with braaied meat, or any meal where you plan to serve bread. Be creative with the seasonings – the options are endless! Caramelised onions will be delicious in this bread dough. Alternatively, add cooked bacon, cheese, sliced jalapeños, fresh herbs, olives, peppers, sundried tomatoes, spinach or feta, or any combination of these. This version is seasoned with some true South African flavours, by combining Peppadews® and cheese. It’s so good. Have a warm slice, straight from the pot, just with some butter … yum!
