I’ve been doing the chicken, mango and pasta potjie and various versions of it for quite a while, but never documented the recipe. So here goes. It is a very simple potjie that can be done in 2 hours’ time. It is delicious, but definitely not a banting option.
I recently came back from an over landing trip in Africa that took me a month. This had an impact on my cooking time and I decided to make up for it by creating a couple of dishes. Seeing that it is winter time and very cold in Cape Town currently, I decided to make 5 different soups.
If you stay in Cape Town, and love Portuguese cuisine, you probably would have visited Dias Tavern and Vasco da Gama Taverna. Both of these restaurants boast a delicious trinchado dish.

We already did a biltong and blue cheese soup before in this article, but I decided to do it again, this time with a bit of twist.

We got our hands on some tenderized eland steaks and decided to make some prego rolls. (We also used some of the steaks to make schnitzels). This is our first stab at making a prego sauce so we had to Google a bit to get some ideas.

I love pomegranate molasses. It’s tartness and sweetness gives a wonderful taste to sauces, dressings, dips and even drinks. It goes particularly well with chicken. Scouring the web for a chicken pomegranate recipe I came across a one-pot Ottolenghi recipe for Chicken with Prunes and Pomegranate Molasses.
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”.

We love chicken pie (who doesn’t?). Whether it’s Kotopita (Greek pie in filo pastry) . B’stilla (Moroccan pie with cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and saffron) or a good old South African chicken pie with hard boiled eggs and sago.
We decided to put a twist on the traditional South African version by making it with smoked chicken, pancetta and leeks.
