The best Italian tomato sauce

The best Italian tomato 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.

Steamed bread with Peppadews® & cheese

Steamed bread with Peppadews® & cheese

This bread is warm, soft and utterly fluffy! Enjoy it with braaied meat, or any meal where you plan to serve bread. Be creative with the seasonings – the options are endless! Caramelised onions will be delicious in this bread dough. Alternatively, add cooked bacon, cheese, sliced jalapeños, fresh herbs, olives, peppers, sundried tomatoes, spinach or feta, or any combination of these. This version is seasoned with some true South African flavours, by combining Peppadews® and cheese. It’s so good. Have a warm slice, straight from the pot, just with some butter … yum!

Chicken potjie with herb dumplings

Chicken potjie with herb dumplings

This recipe is another great one-pot wonder! It uses basic, everyday ingredients, so it’s a sure family favourite! A potjie is traditionally made outside on the fire, but this one is made inside, in a large pot. This means that you don’t have to wait all day to enjoy a delicious potjie. We made this traditional recipe extra South African by steaming herb and mealie meal dumplings on top of the flavourful sauce. Perfect food for this weekend!
