3. Potjiekos


This Dutch-inspired dish translates as ‘small-pot food’, and is slow-cooked over an open fire in the great outdoors. It started out as a ‘frontier stew’ with wild game and vegetables — and generous dollops of cheap and cheerful sherry. Oxtail potjies are a firm modern favourite. They


become the focal point of any gathering, drawing rapturous ‘oohs’ whenever the lid is lifted for stirring — it’s not uncommon for devious guests to slip extra booze in while the chef is looking the other way.

5. Boerewors you know? Did 4. Braai


The quintessential South African dining experience is a ‘braai’ (barbecue). Known in Zulu as shisa nyama (fire meat), a braai is almost always a social event presided over by the braaimaster. The meat is cooked over hot coals — gas barbecues are poor substitutes — then eaten with pap (a stiff maize meal porridge), spicy chakalaka relish and freeflowing ice-cold beers.

fast-food franchise, Chesa Nyama, provides quick fixes for those who want braai there and then. chesanyama.co.za

Nelson Mandela’s favourite dessert was malva pudding, a spongy cake soaked in syrup and served hot with custard.


Translating as ‘farm sausage’, boerewors is as South African as biltong and blue sky. Made from a coarsely minced combination of beef, pork or lamb, it’s generously spiced with coriander, pepper and allspice. The best recipes are hotly contested and a source of fierce pride. It’s best cooked over a braai, and served with pap and vegetables.
