This is a fantastic Argentinian sauce, traditionally made with herbs, aromatics like chilli and garlic, and a mild vinegar, served over braaied meat like steak. It has become so popular, because it’s really versatile and can be used with literally anything – from chicken and fish to egg dishes, wraps, pizzas, sandwiches and even braaibroodjies (braai toasties) boerie rolls and burgers. Give any dish a boost of flavour by just adding a spoonful or two of this tasty 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.

Brood is baie algemeen op ’n Griekse tafel – dikwels om in ’n bykomstigheid te doop of ’n lekker sous mee op te vee. Hierdie veerligte platbroodjies met ’n jogurtbasis word met bakpoeier gemaak, wat baie vinniger as ’n gisweergawe is.

Hummus (of hoemoes gespel en as ‘goemoes’ uitgespreek) is ’n bekende Griekse kekerertjie-‘patee’. Die veelsydige happie is heerlik om op soveel verskillende maniere te gebruik. Dis deesdae baie gewild en oral in supermarkte beskikbaar, maar min kan egter by ’n tuisgemaakte bakkie van dié gesonde lekkerte kersvashou.
This well-known, yet simple Middle Eastern chickpea condiment is super versatile and equally healthy – definitely more than just a dip for veggies. A good dollop of this oh-so-creamy, thick spread is divine on warm strips of pita, ciabatta or wholewheat toast. It’s typically combined with lamb or falafels in a pita or wrap, with fresh salad ingredients like cucumber, cabbage and tomato. What is your favourite way to enjoy hummus?
