Bobotie! Everyone has their version of this South African favourite – a mince dish with typical Cape Malay seasonings and baked with an egg custard on top. This is my version, which I developed for AMC Cookware’s recipe book, The AMC Book years ago and it remains my go-to recipe.
This is my version of an Italian minestrone with beans and lots of veggies – fabulous to make this weekend! The beans are soaked overnight and then precooked before adding the fresh veggies. This way the beans are soft and the veggies don’t overcook, but still have some texture and lots of colour.
Soup is homely, comfort food and this recipe will quickly become a winter favourite, not just because of the flavour, but also the chunky texture. Bacon and potato always work well together, but make sure you remove any excess bacon fat, otherwise it can settle on top of the soup. Also take care when seasoning, as bacon is salty. Potatoes don’t freeze well as they become glassy. Rather keep leftovers for lunch the next day.
This Thai red curry is really quick and easy, hence the name. The curry paste you use will determine the flavour and spiciness of the meal. Replace the chicken fillets in this recipe for prawns, pork or tofu if preferred. This recipe is perfect for the cold weather we’re having!
