We all have a jar of Marmite at home and we all love oxtail – this recipes combines the two perfectly. This dish makes for the perfect family Sunday lunch. Not to mention, it’s a great recipe to cook in bulk and freeze for those lazy weeknights when you have no inspiration for dinner.
What we really love about this recipe is that it can easily be adapted to cook in your potjie on the beach, at the braai – wherever your fancy takes you. And a South African summer just isn’t the same without at least one seafood get-together.
Hydrating and healthy, the humble jug of water has never tasted so good than with it’s infused with fruit, vegetables and herbs.
One unsung hero in the food world is the genius idea of brinjal toasted sarmies. For even more flavour, and a bit of satisfying crunch, coat your brinjal slices in seasoned breadcrumbs before frying. You can thank us later.
There is no better dish to serve up to guests than a traditional French coq au vin. Cooking with wine guarantees you’ll have plenty of fun in the kitchen with this one! (We recommend a middle-of-the-road wine – don’t waste your best vintage, but don’t use anything so cheap you wouldn’t drink it on its own.)
A hollowed-out half loaf of fresh, crusty white bread, a delicious filling of budget-friendly curry, and a beautiful South African day – it’s what casual entertaining is made of.
By now we know the basics of a healthy lifestyle. Stay active, eat fruit and veg and avoid going too heavy on the processed, sugar-filled treats. What we don’t always realise, is just how many food items have sugar hidden in their ingredients, and what the best ways are to minimise sugar consumption without compromising on flavour.
Who says you can’t enjoy a bowl of yummy curry in the middle of summer? Our fragrant vegetarian chickpea and spinach curry is freshened up with coconut milk, coriander and lemon.
Do you need your chops, like, right now? There’s no need to wait or to compromise on flavour, with this baby in your repertoire. It takes a mere 10 minutes to whip up, leaving you with plenty of time to rub it on to your chops and get them on to the fire, where they belong.
When is comes to local flavour, South Africa is second to none. And with both the summer and festive season in full swing, we thought we’d put some of our favourites to good use … at the bar. We chatted to Luke Whearty from Outrage of Modesty to find out how.
