October’s favourite recipes shine the spotlight on local recipes that are perfect for warmer weather.
10. Steamed dumpling (idombolo)
Every South African knows light and fluffy idombolo are delicious with soup, braaied meat or chicken stew.
9. Pilchard fish cakes
A tinned staple gets a delicious makeover that even the kids will love!
Jamie Oliver’s take on meat-and-two-veg is definitely a recipe we’ll be making over and over this summer.
Think baked beans are only made for toast? Think again! This salad is the perfect side to braaied meat or roast chicken.
Of course there had to be a sweet treat on the list! And this one is quick and easy to throw together.
Despite Redro Fish Spread and Peck’s Anchovette being back on shelf, it seems you’re all still loving this homemade version.
No South African summer is complete without a go-to braai recipe – and we agree that this is one to keep in your back pocket for when load shedding hits or for when you’re hosting family or friends for Sunday lunch.
If you’re looking for another potjie recipe to add to your list, an oxtail one is a must. Oxtail is the perfect cut to cook low and slow while you chill with a beer around the fire.
Another braai recipe makes it on the list, proving that we are well and truly in the summer mood! The yoghurt tenderises the chicken while the curry spices add delicious flavour.
It’s no surprise that the recipe you loved the most in October was this classic South African pud! Four simple ingredients come together to form the ultimate sweet treat… and we’re so here for it.
