This beautiful fig and onion tart is perfect for a special teatime occasion with a delicious balance between savoury and sweet – all in one tart. The pastry is made with cottage cheese and some butter, which makes it less finicky, so even if you have not made your own pastry before, then this recipe is perfect for you. I love to be creative with what’s in season and my taste buds have been craving something like this for the longest time. Yay, now I have another delicious recipe to make when figs are in season.

The first few times I made these onions I used dried thyme. Soon after I started adding cumin seeds and now, I alternate between the two flavours, depending on what I am planning to serve with the onions. I use thyme if I want a more delicate flavour, and cumin when I serve it with meat.

’n Yskoue stukkie kerrievis met ’n broodjie (om die sous op te ‘vee’) en slaai, is ’n bekende en baie gewilde Suid-Afrikaanse ete. Party mense ken dit as gepiekelde vis, maar hoe jy dit ook al noem, dit bly smullekker. Die resep is dalk ’n bietjie meer moeite as om vis net in die pan te braai, maar dit hou uitstekend in die yskas en is ’n gerieflike ete om byderhand te hê.
Die speserye in die kerriesous is aromaties en is ’n heerlike kombinasie van geure saam met die soetsuur smaak van die konfyt en asyn – beslis iets wat Suid-Afrikaners altyd geniet. Daar is verskillende maniere om kerrievis te maak, maar ek verkies om die vis eers te panbraai en dan in die sous te marineer. Dit kan vir 5-7 dae in die yskas hou of selfs langer as jy dit in ’n gesteriliseerde bottel verpak en só in die yskas hou.

Die kleurvolle pastei met ’n meer Mediterreense gevoel as ’n tradisionele hoenderpastei, lyk feestelik op ‘n tafel en lok altyd baie komplimente uit. Die geroosterde groente en hoender is heerlik saam met die pesto en suurroom. Die gereg is perfek vir ’n ligte maaltyd of aandete met ’n groen slaai en selfs indrukwekkend genoeg om vriende mee te onthaal.
