    Recipe #457365

    "South African green beans are one traditional food that bring good things to life. Nourishing, colorful, and just darn tasty too. I serve mine cold with a dash of hot pepper flakes that just give it that zing! And if anyone knows me, even if you don't know me well, you know that I would always go for the hot pepper flake option. Lawdy, I am one hot..."

    Cape Malay Chicken Curry by Zurie
    Cape Malay Chicken Curry by Zurie

    By Zurie on May 3, 2012

    Recipe #319570

    "This, like all Cape Malay curries, has as many interpretations as there are cooks! Cape Malay curries are usually not biting and strong, but rather an aromatic mixture of spices. Naturally this depends on the individual cooks, and the curry can be made much stronger by adding more chillis (hot peppers). This recipe is my way of cooking a chicken curry,..."

    "This is a delicious, wholesome favorite from my home country, South Africa. You can find a lot of different variations, but this is the one I like the most! I got a similar recipe from a nutritionist I saw who recommended I eat lower GI meals. This is slightly tweaked, but still healthy and with a low GI."

    "Another recipe I found from Justin Bonello's "Cooked in Africa" show. I found this to be very interesting, as it uses raisins. Let the lemonade sit overnight with the raisins and as they start fermenting they give off fizz according to him. Can't wait to try it."

    By ZAR-INA on March 8, 2012

    Recipe #380151

    "This recipe is so simple, and yet is the tastiest butternut soup ever! I am quite sure that the chilli pepper has a great deal to do with its success, it really is just a hint of a burn, but brings out the rich, nutty flavour of the squash perfectly. For this recipe to be truly wonderful, a home-made chicken stock is the ideal choice, so the little..."

    "Very traditional 'deep-fried breadrolls'; sounds weird but unbelievably good. We grew up with these at least once a week: either filled with curried 'mince' (ground beef) (these we called curry bunnies); or just halved and spread with butter and preserves or syrup. Yumm."

    By Zurie on February 12, 2012

    Recipe #204300

    "There are as many variations for bobotie as there are cooks. The only secret is to find you own favourite amount and mix of spices! Other than widely believed, bobotie did not come with the slaves from Indonesia, but was actually brought from Holland by founding father Jan van Riebeeck in 1652. Why then the spices, so typical of Indonesian and Sri..."
