I recently got hold of some good quality springbok knuckles on my travels and decided to make this dish. The way the meat is prepared is based on Jamie Oliver’s Insanely Good Oxtail Stew Recipe and the pilaf is based on Nagi Maehashi’s Rice Pilaf with Nuts and Dried Fruit recipe. Jamie’s recipe I tweaked a bit and turned it into a one-pot dish while adding some ingredients like garlic and onions. Nagi’s recipe I pretty much kept standard, but I decided to work with ingredients at hand.
For those of you that are not familiar with springbok, it is a medium-sized antelope found in South Africa and also the national animal of this country.

I also decided not to use the word Corsican in the title as I was not too sure how strict you have to follow this recipe to call it anything from Corsica.

We decided to put a twist on the traditional South African version by making it with smoked chicken, pancetta and leeks.
This is an easy recipe for a seeded rye sourdough bread

For most people following a low carb diet bread is usually the most difficult food to give up. After all it is delicious and super convenient.
Since we started eating a bit more low carb a couple of years ago I’ve tried countless low carb bread recipes. Almond flour is too expensive and I don’t like the taste of coconut flour in a savoury bread. Grinding up linseeds and sunflower seeds became my preferred low carb “flour”.
