This year we rung in the New Year with a traditional South African Potjie, or otherwise known as small pot food. It is a fantastic meal to serve to a group of guests because it is easy and takes little preparation and fussing over. Another great aspect is there is no wrong way to make it. A potjie can have everything including the kitchen sink! There is no die hard recipe to follow, improvisation is key. Just serve over rice or with bread and enjoy. Many recipes can be found online, but remember they are guides, not rules, the only key ingredient is the cast iron pot it is cooked in on an open flame. We use a size 6 which works well for us. If you are interested in finding out more about this tradition, recipes, or where to buys a pot, feel free to email. Enjoy!
