Nothing beats an aromatic homemade chakalaka. This tomato sauce or relish (tamatiesous or smoor, in Afrikaans) is a well-known and very popular accompaniment in South Africa, whether you enjoy it with braai meat (braaivleis), like steak, lamb or pork chops, boerewors (sausage) or pap (mealie pap). Chakalaka’s spicier flavour, with fresh ginger, curry powder, fresh chilli, and vegetables like onions and carrots is quite unique. Yes, chakalaka is available in South Africa in tinned form, but nothing beats a homemade version like this recipe. . Make a big batch of chakalaka to use in any of the delicious suggestions in the tips.

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!

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.
