Sometimes I can imagine the flavours of a dish before I actually make it. That is exactly what happened with this salad. Citrus and cabbage works well and cabbage, cucumber and dill combines well together. Then, surely all four of them should work together? Allow the cabbage and cucumber to marinate in the sauce for a bit to give a slight pickle flavour, but it should still be fresh. That perfect balance between pickled and fresh makes this salad ideal with braaied chicken, pork or fish.

Beste vir ‘n bredie: Vir ‘n bredie, is ‘n kombinasie van gaarmaakmetodes die beste manier om goeie resultate te kry. Soos met ‘n sop of ander eenpot-gereg, word van die bestanddele dikwels eers verbruin en dan met die res van die bestanddele in vloeistof geprut. Die feit dat bestanddele soos uie en knoffel, gemmer, wortels of seldery eers gesoteer word, gee beslis ‘n ander geur as wanneer alles net saam gekook word. Deur die vleis heel eerste in die kastrol te verbruin, kry alles ook ‘n meer gekonsentreerde geur.

Wonder jy soms wat die beste gaarmaakmetode vir ‘n spesifieke bestanddeel is? Die regte keuse kan nogal ’n groot verskil aan die eindresultaat maak. Dit gee ook ekstra geur én behou meer van die tekstuur, kleur, geur en voedingswaarde.

Maak ’n slag dié klein frikkadelletjies op pastarys as ’n geurige manier om dit voor te sit.
En terwyl jy frikkadelletjies maak, kan jy dié deel van die resep sommer verdubbel. Klein frikkadelletjies is ewe lekker warm of koud en perfek vir ’n kosblik of om vir ’n volgende ete te vries.

As a child, this was one of my all-time favourite winter desserts. It’s called a self-saucing citrus pudding and just what you need on a cold day. I can imagine the flavours as I am writing. The feather light batter on top has a sweet-sour sauce which forms underneath as it bakes and is quite a surprise element if you have never eaten this before. So, if you’re making this for the first time, don’t be alarmed when you dish up – this is how it’s supposed to be.
