Bobotie
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.
Bacon & potato soup
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.
Lamb chops in a curry marinade
In South Africa we love to braai! So, it’s great to have a good marinade on hand. This curry marinade will be as good on chicken, pork or beef. You can even make delicious sosaties (kebabs) with this marinade. The perfect recipe to make for the public holiday tomorrow!

Hoender-en-wortelkerrie
Die wortels maak die gereg lekker kleurvol en is genoeg stysel vir die ete, so dit kan net so voorgesit word. As julle verkies, geniet dit saam met klein porsies bruinrys of bruin basmatirys.
