Traditional

Delicious delights of the table

Put South African hospitality to the test and try a wide range of traditional foods.

Traditional South African food offers a tasty insight into the country’s many cultural influences. Try pap, morogo, boerewors and more in local restaurants and roadside cafes.

Traditional African food is generally cooked over an open fire or in a three-legged pot (or potjie), so meat tends to be served in either stewed or grilled form. A starch usually accompanies the meat: mieliepap (maize porridge), potatoes or rice. Beetroot, carrots, cabbage and pumpkin are the vegetables most commonly served. Typical South African dishes include tripe, morogo, chakalaka, amadumbe, and the ubiquitous boerewors roll.

This recipe is for making Boerewors the way Ouma made it in the olden days.
You can make it just like she did with her pre-mixed spices It is quick and easy and tastes out of this world! The ingredients below are for making 16.55 kg of her boerewors.

Ingredients

2 kg of chuck beef (fat and gristle removed)
750 de-boned thick rib of pork
200 g of pork fat (spek)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons salt
a good pinch of nutmeg
½ cup vinegar
About 90g of pork casings (ask your butcher for some or ask him where you can buy it)

How to make it

Cut the meat and spek into small cubes.
Sprinkle the seasoning over the meat (not the vinegar),
mix well and then mince together.
Add the vinegar and mix lightly, but thoroughly.
Stuff into casing
refrigerate for 24 hours in a covered, non-metal container.
(Optional: You can experiment by adding additional ingredients. For a lovely curry flavour add a tablespoon of curry powder to the above recipe. For a great garlic flavour add finely crushed and chopped garlic and for a sharper taste add more vinegar).
Do not overcook sausage.
About 12-15 minutes over slow coals (Braai) should do well.
Serve with other BBQ dishes like Mealie Bread.

Milktart is a South African favorite and this recipe makes preparing it even easier!
Ingredients
200g Nuttikrust Biscuits
397g Can Condensed Milk
700ml Boiling Water
15ml Butter
40g Cornflour
50ml Cold Water
2 Large Eggs - separated
1/2 Vanilla Pod - split and seeds removed with a sharp knife
1 Mandarin (I use ClemenGold) - finely grated zest only
Finely Ground Cinnamon for sprinkling on the top

Directions
Lay the biscuits close together over the bottom of a lightly greased pie dish. I use a rectangular dish as the biscuit shape lends itself to a rectangular or square dish

Place condensed milk, boiling water, vanilla, zest and butter into a medium sized saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil

In the meanwhile mix together the cornflour and cold water to make a paste, add the two egg yolks and salt and whisk together

Remove the saucepan from the heat, whisk in the cornflour egg mixture then return to a low heat and keep whisking or stirring quickly until the mixture has thickened. It happens quickly

Remove from heat

Beat the egg whites in a clean metal bowl until stiff peaks form then fold the egg whites into the hot mixture

Pour the filling over the biscuit base and allow to cool then place in fridge to cool and set completely

Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top and serve

Mix together the meat with all other ingredients.

Bobotie (Beef Pie)

2 ounces butter
1 cup onions, thinly sliced
1 apple, peeled, diced
2 pounds chopped cooked beef
2 bread slices soaked in milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
6 bay leaves
1 egg
1/2 cup whole milk

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes, then add the apple dice and cook for another minute. Add the chopped beef and combine. Squeeze out the excess milk from the bread slices, then tear up and add to pot. Add the curry powder, raisins, almonds, lemon juice, egg, and turmeric, and stir well.

Place mixture in a greased 9 x 13" baking dish. Place bay leaves vertically in the casserole. Bake at 325 degrees F for 40 minutes, then remove from the oven. Mix together the egg and milk, then pour it over the Bobotie. Bake for 15 more minutes. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Ingredients

For the koeksister batter:

1 egg, beaten
6 tablespoons of milk
2 cups flour
6 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt

For the koeksister syrup:

4 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon of cream of tartar
½ teaspoon of tartaric acid
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence or
1 teaspoon of grated orange rind or
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or
1/3 teaspoon of ground ginger

It’s best to make the syrup first and leave it in the fridge overnight.

Method:

The syrup: Add the dry ingredients to the water and bring the mixture to the boil. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes or until it starts to turn “syrupy”. Set it aside, allow to cool and then place in the fridge overnight.

The batter: Sift the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl (flour, baking powder and salt). Cut or rub the margarine or butter into them, as with making pastry.

Add the milk to the beaten egg and then add this to the flour mixture. Again, as with pastry making, it’s important to handle the mixture as little as possible. Place this koeksister dough in the fridge for at least an hour.

Roll the cold dough to a thickness of about ¼ of an inch and cut into strips that are approximately 3.5 inches long and about an inch wide. Cut each strip into three lengthways, leaving one side uncut at the end. Plait the pieces, pressing the cut ends firmly together at the end.

Frying the koeksister dough
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan and remove half of the syrup from the fridge and deep-fry the koeksisters in the oil until they turn golden brown. Drain them on absorbent paper.

Dip the koeksisters into the cold syrup for a few seconds. It’s important to do this while they are still hot to get the right texture, as this will seal the syrup outside and leave the inside of the koeksister dry/crispy in contrast.

As you follow this process with more koeksisters, the syrup will gradually become warmer, so when about half way through, use the second batch of syrup that you have in the fridge.

Now taste the joy of a koeksister and coffee – while watching rugby!

Soetkoekies (Spice and Wine Cookies)

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup brown sugar
4 ounces chopped almonds
1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup port or sherry
1 egg white, beaten

Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, brown sugar, and almonds in a large bowl. Add the butter and cut into the flour mixture. Add the beaten eggs and red wine and mix dough together vigorously until it can be formed into a ball.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rough circle about 1/4" thick. With a cookie cutter, cut the dough into 2" rounds. Arrange the rounds about 1" apart on a buttered cookie sheet. Continue cutting cookies, then brush each gently with the egg white. Bake for 15 minutes—until golden brown. Remove to a rack to cool completely.

Biltongpot

Met die (hopelik) oorvloed van biltong na die jagseisoen, is hierdie resep die ware Jakob. Anders moet jy maar van daardie pakkies by die supermark kry of 'n maat afpers!
Bestanddele:
500g gesnyde biltong
500g pasta (enige vorm, maar spaghetti pas nie so lekker nie)
250g botter (of margarien as jou gewete pla)
1 gekapte ui
1 pakkie gesnyde sampioene
lekker groot lepel gekapte knoffel
2 pakkies kits witsous
handvol gekapte kruie
250ml room
250ml gerasperde kaas
Metode:
Smelt die botter, braai die uie, knoffel en sampioene tot die geur almal begin nadertrek. Gooi nou die biltong so in 'n lekker laag oor hierdie braaisel. Maak van hier af seker dat jou hitte baie saggies is. Dis 'n kuierpot, nie 'n wegneemete nie! Gooi jou pasta nou oor hierdie kontrepsie. Maak die pakkies kitssous met genoeg kookwater aan om alles te bedek. Maak toe en kuier rustig. Elke keer as jy wil glas volmaak, maak jy net seker daar is nog vloeistof in die pot. Na so 'n uur begin jou mond behoorlik water. Haal van die hitte af, gooi die room en kaas oor en meng goed deur. Selfs pasta-haters eet hul lippe af!
