South African Dishes

Let's start off with some South African dishes that are sure to be a hit with the whole family.

Braai Pie

This recipe is perfect for those who love a good pie. It's called "braai pie" because it's traditionally cooked over a fire, but you can easily make it in your oven if you don't have access to a braai.

To make this delicious pie, you'll need:

1 sheet of puff pastry
1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
1 cup of cooked shredded chicken
1 chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
2 chopped tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Roll out the puff pastry and place it in a pie dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese, chicken, onion, green pepper, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the puff pastry crust then fold the edges over the top, crimping them to seal. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Bobotie

Bobotie is a traditional South African dish that is sure to be a hit with your family. This recipe is my go-to when I want something that's both flavorful and easy to make.

To make bobotie, you'll need:

1 slice of bread, soaked in 1/2 cup of milk
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon of oil
1 tablespoon of curry powder
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 kg of beef mince
1 tablespoon of vinegar
2 tablespoons of chutney
3/4 cup of beef stock
1 egg
A handful of raisins

Preheat your oven to 180°C. In a large skillet, cook the onion in oil until soft. Add the curry powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the beef mince and cook until browned. Add the soaked bread, vinegar, chutney, raisins, and beef stock. Cook for about 15 minutes. Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish. Beat the egg with a fork and pour over the top. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the egg is set and golden brown.
