Mealie bread is one of those popular South African traditional recipes that remain a favourite. I put my spin on my original recipe and turned it into muffins, which is great as a side dish at a braai or as part of a lunchbox filler.

There are many hummus recipes and various adaptions. This version is made with red lentils and chickpeas and served with a selection of roasted root veggies. Hummus is really versatile, as you can use it as an alternative to butter on a sandwich, in a wrap, as a dipping sauce, or dollop it onto a salad or roasted veg as a delicious dressing. It’s as delicious with meatballs or chicken.

Die natuurlike soet smaak van botterskorsie is perfek as bykos – iets waarvoor Suid-Afrikaners baie lief is. Hier is ’n effens ander aanslag, want die stukkies geroosterde suurlemoenskil is ’n heerlike verrassing. Hasselback-styl word oorspronklik met aartappels gedoen, deur hulle in dun skyfies, maar nie regdeur nie, te sny en dan so in ‘waaiers’ tot goudbruin en bros te rooster.

Wie’s nie dol oor ’n stapeltjie warm pampoenkoekies nie? Maar het jy dit al met botterskorsie gemaak? Probeer gerus ook dié aromatiese botter met vars salie – jy gaan ’n nuwe geur-wêreld ontdek. Die kaneelstokkie waarmee die botterskorsie gekook word, gee dit ook ’n ekstra spesiale geur. En as die idee van die saliebotter jou glad nie opgewonde maak nie, is jy welkom om dit met die tradisionele kaneelsuiker voor te sit. Maar probeer gerus die botter, jy sal nie spyt wees nie.
