Sometimes, when I want to blog about something…but later… you know sometimes you want to do something…but then you say in your head…”later”…not now…ok, now you know what I’m talking about…Langenhoven – a wise “King Solomon” of South Africa…(see some of his quotes on the side bar of my blog)…used to say…and I translate…”the lazy person/sluggard’s day of work is ‘tomorrow’ “ – (Die luiaard se werksdag is “môre”!)..That means…I was too lazy to blog it immediately…lol! not really, I was only busy with something I found more enjoyable/interesting to blog…I usually save stuff on draft and there it waits…for one rainy day! So, having some rainy weather here now…also some quite cold weather, much colder than last week…here’s today’s draft no 12 for you…. A collection of recipes from WWII. I’ve thought to share a few recipes from this cute little book! I do hope you find it “interesting” too! Click and zoom in on the images to have a larger view and print them off!

We recently visited the Lake District and in particular, the western area, where you can see the purple-pinkish spot at Cockermouth. We stayed in an apartment at Mockerkin, just about 7 miles from Cockermouth. See my entry about Cockermouth here:https://chessaleeinlondon.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/i-wandered-lonely-as-a-cloud/ and about Mockerkin here….https://chessaleeinlondon.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/mockerkin/. For my South African readers reading here…I know it’s funny to say “miles”, but in England, all distances are in miles, which was a ‘surprise‘ to us, as we are used to kilometers and the metric system in South Africa. I grew up with the metric system, but they try to keep the Imperial System in England….sort of part of “tradition”.

On this map you can see whereabouts  the farm of Beatrix Potter is…the other purple spot at Hawkshead. It’s also at “Near Sawrey”…we travelled about an hour from where we stayed to Hill Top farm. You have to buy a timed ticket. We went really very early, bought our ticket -for 5 past 12. You can choose your time, but we didn’t as we wanted to go as early as possible…..so we had just more than an hour to wait. To while the time away, we were doing some sightseeing. They don’t allow many people to go in at any one time and they’re very strict. If your ticket says 5 past 12, you can’t try to slip in at 3 min past 12…ask me!! lol! You have to wait till they call the time your ticket says!  On the map you will also see a spot at Carlisle…and that will be my next stop with a next entry…as we visited Hadrian’s Wall there. The remains are actually more near to Brampton…which is near Carlisle. Just south of Cockermouth you will see Whitehaven, a coastal town and it has a historical ‘story’ too. I’ve got some great images which I took there, Whitehaven has an American “connection”. If you’re curious, you can go and read about it…I will upload images about it later.

This image was taken in front of Hill Top farm

Part of the house, as there were many visitors, it was difficult to take a complete picture without any visitors. We were not allowed to take any pictures from the inside of the house, but I have images from “The tale of the Roly Poly pudding”….and if you visit the house, you are given this book and as you wander through the house, you can look at images in the book and the house too, as Beatrix Potter was an illustrator herself, you will see how perfectly she illustrated her books. In particular this tale, the setting was Hill Top farm! I also have a link where you can read the complete story online.

Front door

Part of the house that is not accessible to tourists. A farmer lives here and I think he looks after the farm too. Beatrix extended the original house, but it was asked in her testament that this part will not be accessible to tourists.

hmm…think you know what this is…this was taken a few meters away from the front door..

Samuel Whiskers! The title of this tale is…”The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or the Roly Poly pudding.” Of course you can’t leave this place without a little book and I bought myself this very tale as it has images that will remind me of the house…as the setting of this tale is this house!

‘Tea time at Hill Top ‘ by..Stephen Darbishire – Image: visitcumbria.com/amb/hilltop.htm

This piece of art gives you a great idea of what the kitchen looks like. I love it!

Beatrix Potter was born on 28 July 1866 in South Kensington, London. She lived a lonely life at home, being educated by a governess and having little contact with other people. She had many animals which she kept as pets, studying them and making drawings.

Her parents took her on three month summer holidays to Scotland, but when the house they rented became unavailable, they rented Wray Castle near Ambleside in the Lake District. Beatrix was 16 when they first stayed here. Her parents entertained many eminent guests, including Hardwicke Rawnsley vicar of Wray Church, who in 1895 was to become one of the founders of the National Trust.

His views on the need to preserve the natural beauty of Lakeland had a lasting effect on the young Beatrix, who had fallen in love with the unspoilt beauty surrounding the holiday home.

For the next 21 years on and off, the Potters holidayed in the Lake District, staying once at Wray Castle, once at Fawe Park, twice at Holehird and nine times at Lingholm, by Derwentwater, famous now for its rhododendron gardens. Beatrix loved Derwentwater, and explored Catbells behind Lingholm. She watched squirrels in the woods, saw rabbits in the vegetable gardens of the big house. She made many sketches of the landscape. They still kept in touch with Rev Rawnsley, who after 5 years at Wray, moved to Crosthwaite Church just outside Keswick.

Rawnsley encouraged her drawings, and when back in London Beatrix made greetings cards of her pictures, and started a book. Rawnsley encouraged her to publish, and eventually Frederick Warne published ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ in 1902. Her third book, ‘Squirrel Nutkin’ had background views based on Derwentwater, Catbells and the Newlands Valley. Fawe Park featured in ‘The Tale of Benjamin Bunny’.

In 1903 Beatrix bought a field in Near Sawrey, near where they had holidayed that year. She now had an income from her books, Peter Rabbit having now sold some 50000 copies. In 1905 she bought Hill Top, a little farm in Sawrey, and for the next 8 years she busied herself writing more books, and visiting her farm. In 1909 she bought another farm opposite Hill Top, Castle Farm, which became her main Lakeland base. Seven of her books are based in or around Hill Top. Tom Kitten and Samuel Whiskers lived there. Hill Top is still as it was then, and is now the most visited literary shrine in the Lake District.

Beatrix Potter married William Heelis, a solicitor in Hawkshead, in 1913. Then started the next stage in her life, being a Lakeland farmer, which lasted for 30 years. The office of William Heelis is now the National Trust’s ‘Beatrix Potter Gallery’.

In 1923 she bought Troutbeck Park Farm, and became an expert in breeding Herdwick sheep, winning many prizes at country shows with them. Beatrix continued to buy property, and in 1930 bought the Monk Coniston Estate – 4000 acres from Little Langdale to Coniston – which contained Tarn Hows, now Lakeland’s most popular piece of landscape.

In 1934 she gave many of her watercolours and drawings of fungi, mosses and fossils to the Armitt Library in Ambleside.

When she died on 22 December 1943, Beatrix Potter left fourteen farms and 4000 acres of land to the National Trust, together with her flocks of Herdwick sheep. The Trust now owns 91 hill farms, many of which have a mainly Herdwick landlord’s flock with a total holding of about 25000 sheep. This was her gift to the nation, her own beloved countryside for all to enjoy. Beatrix was the first woman to be elected president-designate of the Herdwick Sheepbreeders’ Association, which continues to flourish.

Beatrix Potter bought Hill Top in 1905 with the royalties from her first few books, written at her parents home in London, but inspired by her annual holiday visits to the Lake District. She visited as often as she could, but never for more than a few days at a time, sketching the house, garden, countryside and animals for her new books.

After she bought the house, she busied herself writing more books, and visiting her farm. In 1909 she bought another farm opposite Hill Top, Castle Farm, which became her main Lakeland base.

Beatrix wrote many of her famous children’s stories in this little 17th century stone house. Characters such as Tom Kitten, Samuel Whiskers and Jemima Puddleduck were all created here, and the books contain many pictures based on the house and garden.

Beatrix bought many pieces of land and property in and around Sawrey, including the Old Post Office, Castle Cottage and a number of small farms. In 1913, aged 47, she married William Heelis in London and moved to Lakeland, living at Castle Cottage which was bigger and more convenient than Hill Top.

When she died in 1943, she left Hill Top to the National Trust with the proviso that it be kept exactly as she left it, complete with her furniture and china.

 If you want to know if somebody is a South African, ask him to say the word…biltong… and…moreover, ask him what it is… ha! he won’t tell you what it is…he will just say…..hmmmmmmmmm…….yummmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyy!! then you will know…that is a real South African, and not a “made” one…! My favourite is….Kudu biltong! of course you get biltong made of ostritch and all kinds of animals and people have their favourites… but, please don’t try elephant biltong…too much sinews! lol! I  had it once…while we travelled the Kruger National Park…never again! That’s the best thing to have with you while travelling there… because biltong is something you shouldn’t gobble up so quickly…(but if you don’t get it every day…like you’re not in SA…and you do get it once in a while…there’s just no other way…you can’t help yourself…you have to gobble it up so quickly….<sigh>..) you have to taste it…think about it….chew it slowly…think more about it and the taste…see if you can find a lion at the water hole….then have another bite… aaah! yummy…. I like mine quite dry too… cut in small bits…. yikes! mouthwatering!!

Click HERE to read original article…but…most importantly…to learn everything about Biltong, how to make it, spices, hints and tips, cutters, etc…..

The word BILTONG is derived from the words “BIL” (BUTTOCK) or meat and ‘TONG” or strip. So it is just a strip of meat.

For centuries mankind has endeavoured to preserve meat. Seafarers, centuries ago, pickled meat in large wooden caskets and devoured this during the months they were at sea. No wonder they suffered from scurvy!!

African folklore has it that migrating African tribesmen, herding their stock, would place strips of venison under the saddles on their horses as the chaffing would tenderise the meat and the sweat of the animals would spice it! This must be when vegetarians were born!!

BILTONG as we know this delicacy today, is a rich inheritance from pioneering South African forefathers who sun dried meat during their trek across the African Subcontinent.
The basic spicing is a dramatic blend of vinegar, salt, sugar, coriander and other spices. These were in abundance in the then Cape Colony, as the French Hugenots produced wine and vinegar from their grape crops and the colony was the halfway stop for seafarers plying the spice routes of the East. Various brine recipes and marinades were created and handed down for generations!

Today BILTONG and DROE WORS (dried South African sausage) is a massive industry and the most sought after delicacies in Southern Africa

Ever heard of a chess pie? No, neither me…but here it is!…and there’s a love cake with a chess sponge to order…!

On a cold, dreary day, Tangerine Chess Pie offers sweet sunshine by the slice. All of your favorite citrus fruits are in great supply right now. Mounds of ruby red grapefruit, juicy oranges, sweet tangerines, and tart lemons and limes dominate the produce section. Give them a squeeze, and turn the refreshing essence into this terrific dessert. When you need a shortcut, you can use cartons of fresh-squeezed juice. Some markets even carry fresh-squeezed tangerine juice. If tangerines aren’t your favorite citrus fruit, then try a lemon-lime, orange, or grapefruit pie.

Bake: 53 minutes
Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie

1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated piecrusts

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons grated tangerine rind

1/3 cup fresh tangerine juice

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Garnishes: sweetened whipped cream, tangerine slices

I copied the following recipe/post as it is from The Kenilworthchessclub … enjoy!

The Kenilworthian’s Apple Chess Tarts

Ingredients:
  • 12 ready made mini pie shells (I used two packages of Keebler® Ready Crust® Mini Graham Cracker Pie Crust)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups peeled and grated Granny Smith apples (about 3-4 regular sized apples)
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

  • Cream butter and sugar using a hand-mixer.
  • Add eggs and flour and mix until well-blended, but do not over-mix.
  • Grate apples using a standard cheese grater, trying to avoid getting too much apple juice into the mix. You want nice shreds of apple, loosely measured at about 2 cups. I recommend Granny Smith apples, but any relatively firm and tart apple will do.
  • Mix in lemon juice (for added tartness) and cinnamon. Both are optional. Some people prefer the taste of the apple to come through. I like most of all to accentuate the tartness of the apples. The cinnamon just makes it seem more like good old apple pie.
  • Fold grated apple mixture into the batter. Don’t worry if it gets a little runny with the lemon and apple liquid.
  • Divide mixture equally among 12 mini pie shells.
  • Bake on a cookie sheet (or foil) for 8 min. at 400 degrees, then 35-40 minutes at 325 degrees or until lightly browned on top.

I made these for our Annual Holiday Party on Thursday and they were a big hit. I adapted the recipe from one for chess pie that I have seen posted several places on the internet. There actually is no connection between “chess pie” and the game of chess, by the way: likely the name derives from a corruption of the word “cheese,” either because cheese was often added to the recipe (it was popular among Southern farmers) or because the solids tend to “cheese up” at the surface of the pie, no one really knows. Even if the name has no real connection to the game, though, it is fun to make for a chess-related function.

I’ve been playing around with apple “chess” recipes of late (see here and here, here and here). I decided to go with apple chess tarts over chess pie because the pie gets rather gooey and is not easy to slice up without making a mess. I definitely do not recommend the pie version if you are going to share it at a social function. But the tarts or mini-pies are really perfect for parties. The only tricky part is figuring out how best to eat them…. Likely I should have removed them from the foil before serving, since people ended up either using a spoon on them (not the best solution) or plopping them out onto a plate (hardly very elegant).

Here’s a recipe for “chess cake” that I’ve been meaning to try.

On  my Afrikaans link HERE I was asked to translate the buttermilk recipe. Well, here it goes! This recipe is from  a friend of mine and it really tastes almost like the real buttermilk rusks you buy in the shops! [even better, if you ask me!] Try and enjoy!

You need:
3x500g self raising flour

1/2 t salt
3/4 of 500g margarine
3 eggs
500 ml buttermilk
2 cups of sugar
1t vanilla
1t food colour – yellow
250 ml coconut [dried coconut]

Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C.
2. Rub butter in flour and salt.
3. Wisk the buttermilk, sugar and eggs.
4. Add the coconut, vanilla and food colour.
5. Mix all till well blended.
6. If dough is too stiff, add a little bit of milk.
7. Coat bread pans with oil. Put dough in pans till about 1/4 of the base is covered, press the dough till it reaches all corners.
8. Bake for 20 min.
9. Cut in thick slices/fingers and dry the slices in the oven. If you dry it in the oven, your oven shouldn’t be too hot…a cool oven – about 100 deg C, spread the rusks on a baking tray and remember to turn the “slices” so it dries all sides. Usually you would dry them overnight with the oven door wedged open a crack to dry out completely. Keep the rusks in an airtight tin.

For the Milk tart in my  previous post, you need puff pastry for the base. You can look at the video and use the ingredients I’ve given,  but you can follow the video’s ingredients too as it is basically the same.

for the base you need:

1pd Flour
1 pd butter
2 table spoons lemon juice
1/2 pint water-and-1 yoke-mixture.
a pinch of salt
Follow the video for the method.
When done with your puff pastry, you put it in your heat resistant oven dish/bowl. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes before for  you add the filling!

 

Milk tart filling
1 cup = 250 ml

6 cups of milk
6 eggs
2 cups of maizena (cornflour)
2 ounces of butter
1   1/2 cup of sugar
salt to taste

Mix the cornflour with a little bit of milk and heat the rest of the milk.
When the milk is cooking, stir the cornflour mixture in the cooked milk and add the sugar and butter. Beat the eggs, but keep the white of 3 eggs separately – for later. Add the eggs to the mixture and stir thoroughly. Whip the 3 whites till stiff and fold it into the mixture. Fill the base/crust of the tarts with the filling. Bake in a hot oven (190 deg C) for about 20 minutes.  A mixture of sugar and cinnamon can be sprinkled on the filling when it’s cooled down. Serve cold.


Van Cruella — ‘n blog-leser– die volgende:
Die melktertresep is ietwat te styf na my smaak. Ek het die resep gehalveer en ipv ‘n kors klaargekoopte beskuitjies probeer. Dit werk uitstekend. My gehalveerde resep is as volg:
3 k melk
3 eiers, geskei
Half koppie meelblom
1 E blotter
Half koppie suiker
Sout na smaak
Pypkaneel.

Plaas 2 koppies melk plus die suiker en botter in ‘n kastrol en bring tot kookpunt.
Intussen meng jy die res vd melk, meelblom en eiergele tot glad (verkieslik met ‘n klitser).
Sodra die melk kook, verwyder van die stoofplaat en meng die eiermengsel in.
Sodra gemeng plaas terug op stoofplaat en roer tot gaar (plus minus vir 5 minute)
Verwyder van stoofplaat en vou geklopte eierwitte in.
Skep in bak waarvan die bodem gevoer is met beskuitjies.
Strooi gekrummelde beskuitjies en pypkaneel oor.
Laat afkoel en geniet dit!

Melktert

Hiervoor word gewoonlik skilferkors gebruik.

Skilferkors:
Bestanddele:
1 pond Meelblom
1 pond Botter
2 eetlepels Suurlemoensap
½ pint vloeistof bestaande uit – 1 geel van eier en Water
Metode:

Sif die meelblom, voeg sout by. Druk al die water uit die botter en deel in drie. Neem nou ‘n klein stukkie van een deel af en vrywe dit in die meelblom, maak nou aan met die ½ pint vloeistof en knie deeg baie goed. Die deeg moet geknie word totdat dit soos ‘n stuk rek is. Strooi nou meelblom op ‘n plank en rol die deeg baie dun uit. Neem nou een deel botter en sit dit in klein stukkies op die deeg, strooi effens meelblom oor en vou deeg toe en drie. Laat lê deeg nou ‘n rukkie. Neem nou die tweede deel botter en herhaal die proses en dan weer die derde deel botter ook op dieselfde manier. Rol nou die deeg uit en voer die nodige tertborde daarmee uit en gooi die volgende vulsel daarin:

Meltert vulsel:
Bestanddele:
6 koppies Melk
6 Eiers
2 koppies meelblom
2 onse Botter
1 ½ koppie Suiker
Sout na smaak

Metode:
Maak die meelblom aan met ‘n deel van die melk, sit die ander melk op die stoof om te kook, roer die aangemaakte meelblom in en kook goed deur,voeg die suiker en botter by. Klits eiers goed op,maar hou die wit van drie uit. Haal nou die vulsel van die stoof af en roer die eiers ook by,kook weer goed deur. Klits nou die wit van drie eiers styf en vou in die mengsel in,gooi dadelik in die uitgevoerde tertborde. Bak in ‘n baie warm oond. Pypkaneel en suiker word oorgestrooi sodra melktert koud is. Dit word ook net so bedien.

Let wel: Die vulsel moet altyd kokend warm in die uitgevoerde tertborde gegooi word. Brandewyn kan in plaas van suurlemoensap vir die vloeistof gebruik word.

CHICKEN A LA KING (serves 2)

Ingredients

2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp plain flour
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp sunflower oil
1 green (or red, or both) pepper, diced
1 amall onion, diced
1 cup quartered button mushrooms
1.5-2 cups cooked diced chicken
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Method

Heat the oil in a large, shallow saucepan. Add the onion and, when it begins to soften, the red/green pepper. Allow everything to soften over medium heat but don’t caramelise the onions – add a bit more oil to the pan if things start to stick. Add the chicken and heat through, adding the mushrooms towards the end.

Melt the butter in a separate pot and when it is completely liquid, stir in the flour. Allow to cook for a minute or two, then whisk in the milk. Allow the sauce to thicken and season with salt and pepper, then pour over the chicken mixture and mix well. A splash of cream may also be added for richness. Serve at once on cooked rice or noodles.

Mince Pies

This is really something which I LOVE!! Mince pies  served with evaporated milk! I really miss “Ideal Milk” from back home…but never mind…I still enjoy it with whatever evaporated milk is available! even without it, these mince pies are really great! When I eat them – no….not eat..gobble!! —- I usually enjoy them the most being a bit heated…not too much…just a few secs in the micro…. if you want to treat me, especially during Christmas time, treat me with mince pies! At the bottom of the post, there’s a link with a recipe…hope you can make some of your own! And….it’s not mince meat! like in “mince beef”!

Crumpets

I want to post this recipe especially for one chess player….Earl… he said that he hasn’t eaten crumpets and wants to know more…so..here’s some work to catch-up on!…Earl!

Ingredients: 350 g plain flour
1 level teaspoon salt
5ml baking powder
300 ml milk
sunflower, oil for frying and greasing
cooking rings or crumpet rings

How to: Tip the flour into a bowl and stir in the salt and baking powder. Add the milk. (I usually like to add 1 egg too….it’s up to you if you want!) Beat the mixture well for about 5 minutes with a wooden spoon. The mixture should be quite liquid and of a spoonable consistency. Grease the cooking or crumpet rings with sunflower oil and smear a light covering of oil over the base of a solid frying pan. Place the rings on the base of the pan and heat. When hot, spoon in the batter to about half-fill the rings. Cook the mixture over a gentle to moderate heat for about 4-8 minutes. Remove the rings and turn the crumpets over. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
Serve the crumpets hot with melted butter+honey/syrup. Enjoy!

You need:
brown sugar, sticky type..in South Africa you get “tricale” brown sugar
cream
bread dough
I found this bread recipe. I haven’t tried it myself.
5 cups flour
2 tablespoons yeast (or 2 x 7g pkts)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups warm-hot water
1/4 cup cooking oil
Put 4 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar and salt into large bowl.
Pour in hot water and oil and mix until combined- it will be sticky.
Add the remaining flour in increments until dough is no longer sticky.
Knead for about 5 minutes until dough is elastic and smooth.
Place dough back into bowl and cover with a damp tea towel and let it rise until double its size- about 1/2 hour.
Now for the Bokkenvolle!

Roll small pieces of dough – like golf balls. Put in oiled oven dish or pan.
Cover the rolls with brown sugar. Be generous with the sugar! Don’t worry if there’s some at the bottom of the dish or pan. Pour cream in the dish, about 1 cm thick in the bottom, at least.
Bake in hot oven by about 180 deg C.
It takes longer than the plain bread rolls due to the cream that gets soaked up by the bread rolls.

Serve and enjoy!

This is….Comfrey and it is similar to Spinach! so you don’t have to use confrey, I’ve done the same with spinach too!

I used to make this “pizza slices” as a Sunday-evening snack…it is really delicious, even more with lemon pepper! We couldn’t find lemon pepper at the supermarket(s) where we usually buy…so we’ve brought with us…all the way…from SA…a huge bottle, because we love it! But I ‘ve heard of people making their own…so I guess you can do that too…

Basically, what you need is quite clear on the pictures! Slices of bread, butter, mushrooms, onion, tomato, cheese and your spices. I think the steps are very obvious, leave me a note if I need to explain more!

What I can say about the Comfrey…don’t eat it too often, like in twice per week…and cook it like spinach…on the pictures you can see…I added potatoes and onions and I mashed it…then it goes on the buttered slices of bread…all other toppings on top….and then your cheese, put in the oven till cheese melted and voila! The Comfrey is easy to grow, we found some in our garden and were pretty much surprised. It’s the first time since we’re in the UK (almost 4 years now) that I make it…used to make it back home as a snack and it turned out very deliciously!…again…

On this link – on my blog – you can read how to make “pap” in the microwave .

Click on this PDF-link  here for Potjiekos Recipes. The link will open in a new window.
Potjie kos
General Method

The meat usually comes first. Add a dash of cooking oil in the pot and when it is hot add the meat. Add sliced onions and stir the meat to seal in the flavour. Cook the meat until nearly done. Add vegetables in layers according to cooking times, carrots at the bottom followed by sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkin, mushroom etc. Arrange the vegetables in layers around the sides forming a hollow for the rice. Marinade or liquid is now added to about 2 cm under the top layer of vegetables.

My first pudding was when I was 10, never heard of “method”…started reading and as far as I go, mixed everything! I got the best compliments for my Vinegar pudding…and it was really nice, must say myself…and from there, every Sunday….everybody wanted that pudding!! And….then I discovered the “method” bit…and it wasn’t the same again….so…ignore the method bit and mix! haha..

As I promised some of my chess players….and all other people reading here…this dish is a must if you’re having a BBQ. In South Africa we like to have it as a side dish, some people won’t make it, but instead having just Pap…which is well-known to the “Southerners” in America as “porridge”. (They also call it “grits” ). In South Africa we also call it “porridge”…in English…but this dish is known for the Afrikaans word… “Pap dis”…which means… “porridge dish”….[it’s an oven dish] or Pap tert [pap tart].

Some people will sometimes have porridge for breakfast….depends on taste and what you like for breakfast. Sometimes you get people who don’t like Pap, then you will have bread rolls for them, usually people from the Cape! They don’t know what is delicious and good for them…wonder if they know the difference between a Springbok and a Kudu…! hahaha…only joking! Ok, we had friends Saturday night for a BBQ and I took photos step-by-step of this dish, specially to post them here for my poor chess players – some are now very much into Saffa-goodies and foods and all the nice/delicous stuff they can order from  South African shops all over the world. One chess player was so confused after telling him what to do, well, now he’s got the pictures too…Our friends told me to tell everyone here that they all had a second helping and it was really delicious…–[btw..it is the truth…]
To make Pap (porridge)…click HERE and it’s only 3 min in the microwave, although another recipe is to be found at the bottom of this post…so you have a choice! The link will open in a new window.
On THIS LINK you will find a delicious recipe about South African buttermilk rusks…[karringmelk beskuit]..the link will open in a new window.
and…..on

THIS LINK you will find many more South African traditional recipes, like milk tart, [whoop whoop! yummy!] scones, sugar cookies (soet koekies) etc. The link will open in a new window.

…and…any South African loves this mouthwatering KOEKSUSTERS (cook sisters) and would love you for this! The link will open in a new window. This is really the ultimate for any Saffa! You can bribe anyone with it.

And…if you like something pizza-ish…click HERE for something really delicous! The link will open in a new window. This is my own recipe and our friends go crazy for it…
For the Pap Dish…you need…..

………Cream…single cream….as double cream is a bit too thick and you need more “runny” cream….

…….one onion……more if you like more….

………chopped………

………..mushrooms……sliced………..

………bacon……diced……….my own “ingredient”

………frankfurther……..depends on taste…to serve 4 people it’s enough to add one per person…this is also my own “ingredient”…as it wasn’t in the original recipe….

………grated cheese……..

Pap…porridge… make it a little bit runny…if it’s thick, you’re going to have trouble to “smear” it in your dish….recipe at the bottom of this post…

…..fry….mushrooms….I like to fry everything separately, it’s up to you, you can mix it straight away from the start and fry it all together….

fry bacon……………

fry…….frankfurthers……….

mix them all together…onions fried too, of course……..

Take a heat-resistant glass dish….cover it first with a thin layer of oil, butter or margarine, whatever you like…and start with a thin layer of pap (porridge)

…..add a layer of the fried mixture……

……. at this stage, I like to add a thin layer of grated cheese and cream, it’s just a bit more creamy if you do it…

………cover with a layer of pap (porridge)…..

………completely……….

……..now add your cheese and cream and your dish is ready for the oven!

………..and….Voila! This is what you get after about 30 min (keep checking it…not in a too hot oven…about 180 deg C….)

How to make “Pap”…
from……
wikihow.com/Make-Pap-in-the-Microwave
Its only 10 minutes, so pay attention! Things You’ll Need

A microwave
Coarse Maize Meal (Mieliemeel)
a kettle of freshly boiled water
a large microwavable bowl with lid
a fork – preferably a large two tine fork

Measure out a cup of maize meal into the microwave bowl (1 cup should make enough for 3-4 people).
Depending on where you are from and how you like your pap add a pinch of salt, more than a pinch or none at all!
Add just enough of the freshly boiled water to wet all the maize meal and work it in with the fork.
Set microwave on “High” and the timer for 10 minutes.
Put the lid on your bowl and pop it in the microwave.
Microwave for about a minute and then remove again.
Thoroughly stir in a little bit more water and return to the microwave.
Repeat this process (Remove, add a little water and stir, microwave again) 3 or 4 more times during cooking time at regular intervals – find a rhythm that works for you! Tips
A glass (Pyrex) bowl is preferable to a plastic microwave bowl
If you have a big enough bowl you can use more than a cup of maize meal, but you might have a better end result if you rather make it in batches – should you require more pap.
Likewise you can use the same method to make smaller amounts – just use a third or quarter cup to make a single serving
for Putu (Krummel) pap, add a little less water and use the fork make to the pap crumbly – believe me, the microwave can make perfect krummelpap!
In the same way, adding more water will give you a denser (stywe) pap or if you add too much water (with finer maize meal) you will have slap pap.
Making pap in the microwave may seem strange at first, but you will master it in no time and no one will be able to tell the difference! Warnings
Use oven mitts as the bowl will get really hot after the first couple of minutes. A cloud of super hot steam will escape every time you open to stir so take the lid off carefully and away from your face
DO NOT forget about it after the first minute! If you neglect to add water and stir an incredibly dense layer of burnt maize will form and the bowl you were using will be a write off.


Maize meal…which you can buy or order from any South African shop anywhere in the world.


……and this is a replacement in Tesco……shops in the UK….and costs about £1.40

Vetkoek is a name given due to the way you bake it. It’s a “cake” baked in oil. In Afrikaans the “vet” means ‘fat’ and this cake is oily.

This is a fantastic recipe as I made it myself too. Please scroll down for the English translation. In  these pictures you can see what mine looked like from this recipe and the family’s comments: delicious, we want more!

This recipe comes from a South African famous recipe book and it contains only winner recipes.

Vetkoek – definitief die beste resep!

Bestandele

Kookolie vir diep braai
1 Koppie Kookwater
2 Eiers
Knypie Sout
2 Teelepels Bakpoeier
2 Eetlepels Suiker
2 Koppies (500ml ) Koekmeelblom

Aanwysigings
Sif die koekmeelblom, suiker, bakpoeier en sout saam. Klits die eiers in ‘n aparte mengbak. Klits die kookwater by die eiers: klits goed. Voeg die eiermengsel by die meelmengsel en klop met ‘n houtlepel tot goed gemeng; die beslag is slap.

Skep dessertlepelsvol beslag in matig warm kookolie in ‘n braaipan. Braai die vetkoek totdat die onderkant goudbruin en die bokant vol lugborrels is. Draai om sodat die bokant ook goudbruin kan braai. Plaas die vetkoek op kombuispapier sodat alle oortollige olie daarin kan dreineer. Sit die vetkoek warm voor met botter en heuning of appelkooskonfyt óf met maalvleis. (Die resep afgeskryf uit Huisgenoot Wenresepte)

English recipe.

Ingredients:


Oil for deep fry
1 cup of boiled water (I used hot water and not boiled water)

2 cups (500ml) of Flour


Directions:
Sift dry ingredients. Whisk the eggs and add the water. Add to the dry ingredients
and mix the batter with a wooden spoon. Drop large spoonsful of batter in warm oil.
Make sure you’re oil is not too hot! Fry both sides well, till it’s golden brown.
Enjoy with a beef mince filling/syrup/honey/jam, whatever taste you like. This recipe produces about 6-10 “vetkoeke”/fat cakes…depending on the size.

Vetkoek means ‘oil cake, which refers to the method of frying, not baking the bread.
It is a classic South African “bread”. You can have it with a sweet filling or a savoury filling.
Beef mince or syrup, like maple syrup…add some cheese and you have a nice “filling”.
Vetkoek/fat cake
1 kg (2 1/4 pounds) white bread flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 packet instant yeast
1 litre lukewarm water (1 quart)
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Method
In a large dish mix flour, sugar, salt and yeast together. Slowly add lukewarm water and stir. Combine until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Cover with greased kitchen paper, put in warm draft-free place, and allow to double in size. Heat enough vegetable oil for deep frying. Fill another dish with cold water and place next to your vetkoek dough. Wet your hands in cold water before breaking off a piece of dough, rolling it into the shape and size of a tennis ball and carefully lowering it into hot oil. You can easily do five or six vetkoek at a time. Allow to turn golden brown on all sides by frequently turning. Remove from oil and drain on kitchen paper.

This next pie is really something very delicious! My sister used to make it..and I’ve found the recipe here: fruittart.wordpress.com/2008/01/28/daring-little-tart/
Lemon Meringue Pie
Makes one 10-inch (25 cm) pie

For the Crust:

¾ cup (180 mL) cold butter; cut into ½-inch (1.2 cm) pieces
2 cups (475 mL) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (60 mL) granulated sugar
¼ tsp (1.2 mL) salt
⅓ cup (80 mL) ice water

For the Filling:

2 cups (475 mL) water
1 cup (240 mL) granulated sugar
½ cup (120 mL) cornstarch
5 egg yolks, beaten
¼ cup (60 mL) butter
¾ cup (180 mL) fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon zest
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract

For the Meringue:
5 egg whites, room temperature
½ tsp (2.5 mL) cream of tartar
¼ tsp (1.2 mL) salt
½ tsp (2.5 mL) vanilla extract
¾ cup (180 mL) granulated sugar

For the Crust: Make sure all ingredients are as cold as possible. Using a food processor or pastry cutter and a large bowl, combine the butter, flour, sugar and salt. Process or cut in until the mixture resembles coarse meal and begins to clump together. Sprinkle with water, let rest 30 seconds and then either process very briefly or cut in with about 15 strokes of the pastry cutter, just until the dough begins to stick together and come away from the sides of the bowl. Turn onto a lightly floured work surface and press together to form a disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 20 minutes.

Allow the dough to warm slightly to room temperature if it is too hard to roll. On a lightly floured board (or countertop) roll the disk to a thickness of ⅛ inch (.3 cm). Cut a circle about 2 inches (5 cm) larger than the pie plate and transfer the pastry into the plate by folding it in half or by rolling it onto the rolling pin. Turn the pastry under, leaving an edge that hangs over the plate about ½ inch (1.2 cm). Flute decoratively. Chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line the crust with foil and fill with metal pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden. Cool completely before filling.

For the Filling: Bring the water to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan. Remove from the heat and let rest 5 minutes. Whisk the sugar and corn-starch together. Add the mixture gradually to the hot water, whisking until completely incorporated.

Return to the heat and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. The mixture will be very thick. Add about 1 cup (240 mL) of the hot mixture to the beaten egg yolks, whisking until smooth. Whisking vigorously, add the warmed yolks to the pot and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in butter until incorporated. Add the lemon juice, zest and vanilla, stirring until combined. Pour into the prepared crust. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on the surface, and cool to room temperature.

For the Meringue: Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Using an electric mixer beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar, salt and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Add the sugar gradually, beating until it forms stiff, glossy peaks. Pile onto the cooled pie, bringing the meringue all the way over to the edge of the crust to seal it completely. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a rack. Serve within 6 hours to avoid a soggy crust.
Daring Bakers Extra Challenge
Free-Style Lemon Tartlets
Prepare the recipe as above but complete the following steps:
To roll out tartlet dough, slice the dough into 6 pieces. On lightly floured surface, roll each circle of dough into a 5 inch disk. Stack the disks, separated by pieces of plastic wrap, on a plate, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
To bake the dough, position rack in oven to the centre of oven and preheat to 350ºF (180ºC). Place the disks of dough, evenly spaced, on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely.
To finish tartlets, first place oven rack in the upper third of the oven and increase heat to 425ºF.
Divide the lemon filling equally among the disks, mounding it in the centre and leaving a 1-inch border all the way around.
Spoon the meringue decoratively over each tartlet, right to the edges, in dramatic swirling peaks. Return tartlets to oven and bake for about 5 minutes, until the meringue is golden brown.

Additions:
You can make one pie or tartlets (in a tin or free-form)
You can compliment your pie with a sauce. For example, you can serve it with raspberry or white chocolate sauce.
You can use a piping bag to apply the meringue if you like.
Decoration is up to you – lemon zest or fruit are totally acceptable

I found these on a website and I lost the site…and it seems to be great recipes….if you want to try it…you can buy a 3 legged pot from any South African shop in any country outside South Africa nowadays. (well, I think it is about any of them!) They come in different sizes…nr 3 is a middle size pot for about 3-4 people usually, but if you like it so much like I do, then nr 3 is enough for one person! 🙂
On THIS LINK you can see photos of “potjie kos”….we had with family.The link will open in a new window.

Lamb Neck and Cabbage Potjie

This requires some explanation first, a few years ago the “Potjie” craze took over in South Africa as an alternative to the traditional BBQ.
A “Potjie” is a 3 legged round bottomed cast iron pot where you put your ingredients in, and it simmers merrily over coals while everyone sits around it chatting away. and sipping you know what.. It’s much more sociable than a BBQ where the men usually gather round the fire and the women are usually busy in the kitchen, but don’t get me wrong, this is strictly a male domain and the women are only required to do the side dishes. Everyone usually has his own “secret” ingredients and “Potjie” competitions are very popular at fairs.

INGREDIENTS
2 tbs cooking oil
2 large onions, chopped
14 lamb neck chops
250g bacon, diced
16 small potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 small cabbage, cut in 8 pieces
dash of lemon juice with 500ml water
dash of mixed herbs
salt and black pepper to taste

METHOD

1. Heat the oil in a medium-size potjie, then fry the onions, bacon and lamb chops for about ½ hour, stirring from time to time. Cover with lid and leave to cook for about 45 minutes.
2. Open pot, stir, then add layer of potatoes, finishing off with the cabbage. Add the water/lemon juice mixture, herbs and spices. (Don’t stir yet)
3. Cover with lid and cook for about another 2 hours slowly over medium coals ; check if there’s enough water after a while, and add more if necessary.
4. Stir through ; the meat should fall off the bones.
5. Serve with brown rice and sweet mashed cinnamon pumpkin.

Turkish Delight – Recipe from Celia

Ingredients
4 cups sugar
4 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/4 cups cornstarch
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 tablespoons rosewater
red food colouring (optional)
1 cup confectioners sugar

Introduction:

This appealing candy is easy to make at home. Rosewater can be found at speciality food stores. When the sugar syrup boils, coat the inside of the saucepan with a brush dipped in water to prevent sugar crystals from forming.

Makes 80 pieces.
Total time: 2 hours.

Step 1:
Oil a 9-inch square pan. Line with plastic wrap and oil the plastic wrap.

Step 2:
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, 1 1/2 cups of the water, and the lemon juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture
boils. Reduce the heat and simmer gently, without stirring, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (240°F on a candy thermometer). Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 3:
In a second large heavy saucepan over medium heat, stir together 1 cup cornstarch and the cream of tartar. Gradually stir in the remaining 3 cups of water until no lumps remain. Stir constantly, until the mixture boils and is a thick, gluey paste.

Step 4:
Slowly pour the hot sugar, water, and lemon juice syrup into the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring often to prevent sticking, for about 1 hour, or until the mixture has become a pale golden colour.

Step 5:
Stir in the rosewater and tint as desired with food colouring. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Cool to room temperature and let stand, uncovered, overnight to set.

Step 6:
Sift the confectioners sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup cornstarch onto a large cutting board. Turn the Turkish delight out and cut into 1-inch squares with an oiled knife. Roll pieces in the sugar mixture to coat well. Store in an airtight container with sheets of waxed paper, dusted
with the sugar mixture, separating every layer.

WARMSTROOP KOEKSISTERS – Celia’s recipe
(Hierdie is ‘n ware wenner – ongeveer 30 koeksisters).

Stroop:
625 ml suiker 250 ml water
1 e suurlemoensap 5 ml vanilla
Deeg:
1½ k koekmeel 22 ml bakpoeier
1 ml sout 25 ml botter/margarien
150 ml melk 750 ml sonneblomolie

Gooi die suiker en water in ‘n diep kastrolletjie en verhit sonder ‘n deksel oor lae hitte tot kookpunt : roer dit af en toe totdat die suiker gesmelt het. Wanneer die stroop kookpunt bereik, kook dit 7 – 8 minute stadig sonder ‘n deksel: dit moenie vinnig kook nie, want dan gaan die stroop te dik wees. Haal die kastrolletjie van die stoof af en roer die suurlemoensap en vanilla by. Hou eenkant tot benodig.

Sif die koekmeel, bakpoeier en sout saam. Vryf die botter met die vingers in tot fyn frummels. Sny die melk met ‘n slaplemmes in die frummels in totdat ‘n deeg gevorm het – werk liggies.

Rol die deeg op ‘n meelbestrooide deegplank sowat 5 mm dik uit. Sny dit in smal repies en vleg koeksisters daarmee, of gebruik ‘n koeksistersnyer.

Verhit die olie tot taamlik warm, maar nie rookwarm nie. Plaas drie – vier koeksisters op ‘n keer in die olie en bak eers aan een en dan die ander kant tot diep goudbruin. Skep met ‘n gleuflepel uit en dompel dadelik in die stroop (wat teen dié tyd tot louwarm afgekoel het). Wanneer die stroo deur die koeksisters getrek het, skep hulle met ‘n dreineerspaan uit en plaas hulle op ‘n draadrakkie in ‘n skinkbord of bak sodat alle oortollige stroop kan afdrup.

KITSKOEK – uit die Kook en Geniet – by Celia

1 k koekmeel 2 groot eiers
1 e mielieblom (maizena) ½ tot ¼ k melk
¼ t sout 1 t vanilla* (lemoengeursel of vanilla – of enige geursel na smaak)
2 t bakpoeier 3 e botter of volvet margarien
¼ k suiker

Sif die eerste 5 bestanddele saam.

Klits eiers in ‘n maatkoppie en voeg melk by tot dit ‘n volle 250ml (1k) is.
Voeg die geursel by en roer dit in die meelmengsel. Meng goed.

Smelt die botter in ‘n oondvaste bakskottel (9×9″ of 22 x 22cm). Ek is seker jy kan dit in ronde panne ook bak – pas net die baktyd aan – dit moet verkort word.

Roer die botter in die mengsel tot dit goed gemeng is en gooi die beslag in bakskottel/panne.

Bak dadelik by 200°C of 400°F.

Laat die koek heeltemal afkoel in die bakskottel en versier bo-op soos verkies, deur bv. ‘n laag appelkooskonfyt daaroor te smeer en fyn klapper daaroor te strooi of vrugtemoes met geklopte room bo-op of enige vulsel wat geskik is. Sny dit in blokkies en lig dit uit die bakskottel met ‘n mes.

Skaapboud in die oond gebak – deur Celia

Vee die boud met ‘n klam lap af. Sorg dat jy fyngekapte knoffel, sout en peper byderhand het, asook kookolie. Neem ‘n skerppunt mes en steek in die boudvleis en beweeg die mes bietjie heen en weer om ‘n opening te maak, maar nie te groot nie. Gooi bietjie sout en peper in die holte en stop met ‘n bietjie gekapte knoffel. Maak omtrent so tien of twaalf sulke gate wat jy volmaak met die sout, peper en knoffel. Dan sprinkel jy sout en peper en fyngekapte knoffel oor die boud, saam met bietjie kookolie en smeer-vryf dit oor die hele boud. Plaas in bak, maak toe met foelie en plaas in voorverhitte oond van ongeveer 120°C oornag, of ten minste 8 ure lank.

PS: Die ‘volmaak met sout’- nie meer as omtrent so 2ml per gat nie, anders is dit te sout!

Jogurt en Hoender Potjie – deur Celia

2 kg Hoenderstukke
2 (green peppers) soetrissies in lengte gesny
300 g wortels geskil en in skywe gesny
6 groot aartappels geskil en in heltes gesny
100 g gedroogde appelkose
200 g groen boontjies gekerf
150 g Sampioene gesny
Sout na smaak
1 pakkie Sampioensop

Marinade:

500 ml Jogurt
500 ml Droë Wit wyn
10 ml gedroogde tiemie
10 ml lemoenskil fyn gerasper
1 groot ui fyngekap
5 ml swart peper
3 ‘Bay leaves’
5 ml gedroogde ‘Dragon’

Meng al die bestanddele van die Marinade en gooi oor die hoender en laat staan vir 6 – 8 ure.
Maak die pot goed warm en braai die hoender, ‘n paar stukke op ‘n slag, saam met die (Green peper) soetrissie tot goudbruin.
Pak dan in lae – Wortels, aartappels, appelkose, boontjies, en sampioene dit moet alles bo-op die vleis gepak word.
Gooi sout oor en giet dan die marinade oor.
Maak toe en los die pot om te prut vir 2 ure. As daar nog te veel sous in die pot is, voeg die soppoeier by en laat vir ‘n verdere 15 min prut.

Ek hoop dit help jou – ek glo as jy ‘n basiese resep het kan jy dit enige tyd groter of kleiner maak na gelang van die behoefte.

KERRIEHOENDER MET VRUGTE (50 – 60 porsies) Deur Celia

7,5 kg hoenderborsies en dye 8 uie, geskil en gekap
10 knoffelhuisies, geskil en gekap sonneblomolie
150 ml matige kerriepoeier 100 ml borrie
10 ml fyn koljander 10 ml fyn kaneel
312,5 ml matige vrugteblatjang 37,5 ml sout
sap van 5 suurlemoene 7,5 ml peper
100 ml fyn appelkooskonfyt 20 ryp piesangs
5 Granny Smith-appels 625 ml sultanas
water

Metode:
Kook die hoender sag, ontvel, ontbeen en kap in blokkies. Verhit die olie in ‘n swaarboom-kastrol en braai die uie en knoffel daarin tot deurskynend. Meng kerriepoeier, borrie, koljander, kaneel, suurlemoensap, appelkooskonfyt, blatjang, sout en peper. Voeg die mengsel by die hoendervleis, bedek met water, sit die deksel op en prut ongeveer 15 minute lank oor matige hitte. Rasper die appel en druk die piesangs fyn. Voeg dit saam met die sultanas by die vleismengsel in die kastrol en laat prut nog 15 minute lank. Roer gereeld, want dit brand maklik aan na die vrugte bygevoeg is. Sit die gereg voor met geroosterde klapper en gekookte rys.

EEN VAN DIE TWEE GEREGTE – ALBEI IS KERRIE

BASAARBOBOTIE (Ongeveer 50 porsies)
10 uie, geskil en gekap sonneblomolie
5 kg maer maalvleis 125 ml matige kerriepoeier
100 ml borrie 190 ml wit suiker
125 ml wynasyn 625 ml water
625 ml matige vrugteblatjang 190 ml appelkooskonfyt
62,5 ml sout 10 ml peper
3 k sultanas 10 k melk
5 k gerasperde groen appels suurlemoen/lourierblare
3 k gerasperde geelwortels 12 eiers
10 snye volkoringbrood, in melk geweek

Braai gekapte ui in olie tot deurskynend. Voeg maalvleis by en braai tot gaar. Strooi kerriepoeier en borrie oor die vleismeng-sel, meng goed en roerbraai ongeveer drie minute lank. Meng die suiker, asyn, water,blatjang, appelkooskonfyt, sout, peper en water en voeg dit by die vleismengsel. Roer goed deur. Voeg die sultanas, appel en geelwortel en die brood by die vleismengsel, meng goed en laat dit ongeveer 10 minute lank oor matige hitte prut. Haal die vleismengsel van die stoof af en skep in ‘n groot oondbraaipan of afsonderlike foeliebakkies. Maak die vleismengsel liggies glad met die agterkant van ‘n lepel – moenie die vleis vasdruk nie. Klits die eiers en melk liggies saam en giet die helfte van die eiermelk oor die vleis. Bak tot die eier gestol het. Giet die orige eiermelk oor die bobotie, druk blare daarin en bak tot goudbruin.

HOENDERGEREG Vir een oondpan – 12 persone

5 uie, baie fyn gekap 400g baie fyn gerasperde wortels
2 k vars broodkrummels 20 ml sout
2 t witpeper 2 t neutmuskaat
1t paprika 50 ml kookolie

Sous:
4 uie baie fyn gekap 4 knoffelhuisies, fyngemaak
4 fyngekapte soetrissies 50 ml botter 50ml kookolie
820g ingemaakte tamaties 5 ml tabascosous 500 ml Bulgaarse joghurt
Berei frikkadelle:

Meng beesvleis, varkvleis, uie, wortels en krummels en geur met speserye. Meng goed,bedek en plaas oornag in die koelkas.

Rol 100 klein frikkadelletjies. Smeer oondpanne met die olie en rangskik die frikkadelle daarin. Bak 40 min lank by 160°C.

Sous:
Braai uie, knoffel en soetrisse in die botter en olie totdat die uie deurskynend is. Voeg die tamaties by en kook tot al die vloeistof verdamp het. Verwyder van die hitte en laat afkoel. Verpulp in voedselverwerker. Proe, geur en meng met die joghurt.

Wenke:

Om uitdroging te voorkom: plaas gebotterde foelie oor die frikkadelletjies.

Al die sousbestanddele behalwe die joghurt, ka nook gemeng en oor die frikkadelletjies geskep word voordat dit gebak word. Gooi dan die vloeistof af wat tydens die baktyd vrygestel word, kook dit op die stoof totdat net die helfte van die vloeistof oor is, lproe en geur goed met sout en varsgemaalde peper. Roer by die joghurt en bedien by die frikkadelletjies as doopsous. Sit warm of koud voor.

As jy dit wil vries, doen dit voor die joghurt bygevoeg word. Ontdooi agterna in die koelkas. Verhit in oond of mikrogolf. Meng die sous wat gevorm word met die joghurt. Voeg fynkapte pietersielie en/of grasuie na smaak by. Skep sous in ‘n mooi bakkie en sit voor saam met die frikkadelletjies.

Niertjies en Lewer – Sarie se web

(4 porsies)

12 lamsniertjies
200 g wit sampioene, in skyfi es gesny
30 ml botter
50 ml olyfolie
1 ui, fyngekap
30 ml brandewyn
250 ml room
handvol gekapte pietersielie
10 ml korrelmosterd
sout en varsgemaalde swartpeper na smaak
Sny die lamsniertjies in die helfte, verwyder die buitenste vlies en knip die nierpypies uit met ’n kombuisskêr. Smelt die botter saam met olyfolie in ’n pan. Braai die niertjies totdat dit mooi bruin aan weerskante is – dit sal sowat 10 minute neem. (As jy aartappels saam wil voorsit, stel ek voor dat jy dit nou al begin kook.) Haal die niertjies uit die pan en sit dit in ’n sif om te dreineer. Braai die sampioene in dieselfde pan vir sowat 5 minute, voeg die room by en laat die room effens afkook. Voeg pietersielie en mosterd by, en dan die niertjies. Sorg dat die niertjies weer warm word in die sous en geur met sout en peper.Hier is die link – daar is ‘n mooi foto’tjie ook by.

Waatlemoen en gemmer konfyt se resep – soos uit SJA de Villiers se Kook en Geniet – werk soos ‘n droom, elke keer. (deur Celia)
Skil skywe van die waatlemoen dun af, verwyder die pitte en kerf of maal die hele vrug (ek sny die skywe dunnerig en ‘chop’dit sommer net fyn met ‘n skerp vleismes.
Weeg dit en voeg 1 kg gerasperde pynappels by vir elke 4 kg waatlemoen.* Voeg 500 ml water by die 5 kg vrugte en kook dit vir 15 minute lank.
Voeg 375g (400ml) suiker per 500g vrugte by en roer dit tot die suiker opgelos is en kook dit vinnig totdat dit lekker dik is, soos appelkooskonfyt. (Roer gedurig, want dit brand maklik aan.)
Celia: *Ek koop ‘gemmer stukkies (ginger chunks), te kry by sommige winkels, soos Value Bake in WesKaap, sommige Pack ‘n Spice winkels, miskien ook Bakers Bin. Indien dit nie beskikbaar is nie, hou ek persoonlik daarvan om by Food Lovers Market ens, by die toonbank waar mens die vrugte vir vrugtekoeke kook, ‘candied ginger’ of versuikerde gemmer te koop. Dit is so ‘n bolletjie gemmer – bietjie duur, maar mense, dis 200% die geld werd. Ek koop dit sommer en snipper dit in gemmerpoeding se deeg voordat dit oond toe gaan. Dit is HEERLIK!! Mens kry ook gemmer skerfies te koop by winkels soos Montagu Fruit – Pick ‘n Pay hypermarket Faerie Glen Pretoria. Jy kan dit ook gebruik, snipper dit net bietjie kleiner.

WILDSBOUD  (Uit Kook en Geniet)

1 boud, ongeveer 2 kg                      250 g varkspek
1 t fyn naeltjies                               1,5 e fyn koljander
1,5 e bruinsuiker                              1,5 e sout
halwe teelepel peper                         knippie neutmuskaat
1 k asyn                                         125ml soetwyn
kweperjellie

Vee vleis met klam doek af en verwyder voorbeen.  Sny spek in lang repies van ongeveer 6 mm dik en 5 – 7 cm lank.  Meng al die ander bestanddele behalwe die laaste twee goed.

Laat spek ‘n halfuur in mengsel van speserye en asyn lê.  Lardeer die boud vleis daarmee deur met ‘n skerp mes diep snye in die vleis te maak.  Druk ‘n vinger in elke sny om dit te rek en druk dan ‘n stukkie spek daarin.

Sit die vleis in ‘n diep skottel en giet orige asynmengsel daaroor.  Laat dit 2 – 3 dae marineer en draai die vleis een keer om.  Haal die vleis uit die marinade, druk dit effens droog met ‘n doek en braai in ‘n pot.  Voordat jy dit braai, vryf die oppervlak in met ‘n mengsel van koekmeel, sout en peper.  (125 ml meel, 2 t sout en halwe t peper.)  Verhit halwe k botter/olie in kastrol en plaas vleis daarin.  Braai vinnig bruin aan albei kante sonder om die deksel op te sit.  Voeg halwe k kookwater by en maak dig toe.  Verminder hitte en laat 2 – 3 uur lank stadig stoom.  Voeg telkens bietjie water by wanneer dit begin braai.  Draai vleis een keer om terwyl dit stoom en laat dit teen die einde van die tyd bruin braai.

Om die sous te maak, word al die vet behalwe 15 ml afgegooi.  Voeg dan kokende water by.  Roer dit goed en laat kook.  Gooi uit in souspotjie.  (Om sous dik te maak:  Roer genoeg koekmeel by om al die vet te absorbeer, laat dit kook en roer aanhoudend tot dit mooi bruin is.  Voeg 250 – 500 ml kookwater by en roer tot dit kook.  Voeg sout en peper na smaak by en dien op. Voeg wyn by ongeveer 30 minute voordat braaityd verstreke is. Sit die vleis voor met kweperjellie.

knippie sout                                5 ml vanieljegeursel
kaneel

Smelt margarien oor lae hitte.  Klop die witsuiker en eier vinnig daarby.  Sif die koekmeelblom, bakpoeier en sout saam en meng dit met die eiermengsel.

Druk die deeg met die vingers teen die wand en op die boom van twee tertborde, elk met ‘n volume van 1 liter.  Prik die korse en hou dit eenkant.

Kook die melk en botter of margarien in ‘n dikboomkastrol.  Klits die eiers en witsuiker baie goed saam tot liggeel en sponsagtig dik.  Voeg die mielieblom, koekmeelblom, sout en vanieljegeursel by en klits dit verder totdat alles by die eiermengsel ingeklits en daar geen klontjies is nie.

Klits ‘n bietjie van die kookmelkmengsel by die eiermengsel.  Klits die eiermengsel nou by die res van die kookmelkmengsel.  Plaas dit terug op die warm stoofplaat en roer dit vinnig totdat dit begin kook. Skakel die plaat af, sit die deksel op en laat die vulsel ‘n paar minute staan.

Giet die warm vulsel in die rou korse.  Sif kaneel oor.  Bak die terte ongeveer 20 minute lank in voorverhitte oond by 180ºC totdat die korse gaar is.  Sit dit louwarm of koud voor.  ‘n Mens kan ‘n ekstra bietjie witsuiker oor die vulsel strooi indien verkies.     Lewer 2 middelslag terte.

Die volgende resep het ek van ‘n forum-website gekry – vir wildjagters – ek dink die website se naam  is iets soos jaracal…gits, kan nie onthou nie. Ek plaas dit, want ek het al my skoonma se vlakvark-vleis ge-eet en sjoe! kan dit lekker wees! Ek plaas die resep net soos hy daar verskyn.

Die resep word vergesel van ‘n waarskuwing: pasop dat die vleis droog word!
800 g vlakvarklendestuk
gemaalde swartpeper en sout
1 dessertlepel Dijon-mostert
8 skywe pancetta of ander gehaltespek

Marinade
1/2 ui, in blokkies gesny
1 wortel, in blokies gesny
1 selderystok, in blokkies gesny
1 prei, slegs die wit deel,in blokkies gesny
1 teelepel fyngekapte knoffel
2 teelepels vars kruie (roosmaryn en tiemie)
1 lourierblaar, fyngekap
2 jenewerbessies
1/2 koppie rooiwyn
4 teelepels olyfolie

Shiraz-sous
1 gekapte ui
1 dessertlepel botter
1 teelepel bruinsuiker
1 kioppie wild of beesekstrak
1/2 koppie shiraz
bessies,vars of in likeur, strroop of konfyt na smaak

Gepeperde pynappel
4 snye pynappel
Gemaalde swartpeper
olyfolie

Sny alle kliere en vliese van lendestuk af. Voeg die gekapte groente en al die ander marinadebestanddele in ‘n suurbestande skinkbord by. Sit die lendestuk daarin enmarineer 24 uur aaneen in die yskas en draai dit van tyd tot tyd.
Maak eers die shirazsous.
Verbruin die uie in die botter in ‘n pan, voeg dan suiker by totdat dit smelt. Voeg die ekstrak en wyn by,verlaag die hitte en laat dit bak totdat dit stroperig is.
Voeg peper by die pynappel en bak dit in olie.
Haal die wildsvleis uit die marinade en vee ekstra stukkies weg. Voeg sout en mosterd oor. Vou die spek om die vleis en heg dit met lyn of tandestokkies. Bak liggies op ‘n rifflepan totdat die spek bros is, maar die vleis steeds in sy kern rou is. Wanneer dit gaar is, laat vyf minute in die warmoond lê om die rooi sappe toe te laat om tot die droë buiteweefsels deur te dring.
‘n Weddenskap: die gaste sal met nuwe oe na ‘n vlakvark kyk.

niertjies

Die volgende resep is van Sarie se website: Niertjie resep. [sien foto hierbo]

As jy in die Karoo grootgeword het soos ek, kan jy nie help om van niertjies en lewer en sulke goed te hou nie. Dié resep is vir my altyd ’n wenner – veral die sous met ’n knertsie brandewyn in

(4 porsies)

  • 12 lamsniertjies
  • 200 g wit sampioene, in skyfi es gesny
  • 30 ml botter
  • 50 ml olyfolie
  • 1 ui, fyngekap
  • 30 ml brandewyn
  • 250 ml room
  • handvol gekapte pietersielie
  • 10 ml korrelmosterd
  • sout en varsgemaalde swartpeper na smaak

Sny die lamsniertjies in die helfte, verwyder die buitenste vlies en knip die nierpypies uit met ’n kombuisskêr. Smelt die botter saam met olyfolie in ’n pan. Braai die niertjies totdat dit mooi bruin aan weerskante is – dit sal sowat 10 minute neem. (As jy aartappels saam wil voorsit, stel ek voor dat jy dit nou al begin kook.) Haal die niertjies uit die pan en sit dit in ’n sif om te dreineer. Braai die sampioene in dieselfde pan vir sowat 5 minute, voeg die room by en laat die room effens afkook. Voeg pietersielie en mosterd by, en dan die niertjies. Sorg dat die niertjies weer warm word in die sous en geur met sout en peper.

Sit voor saam met
Klein aartappeltjies met bronkors

  • Sowat 20 klein aartappeltjies
  • sowat 200 ml olyfolie
  • 2 handevol bronkors (watercress), baie grof gekap
  • sout en varsgemaalde swartpeper na smaak

ANY South African LIKES/LOVES this…..if you don’t like it…you are NOT a South African, that is how you can identify a person that’s NOT a South African..hehe…click on the link, get yourself this recipe and spoil yourself!! I’ve copied the post from “cooksister”‘s blog here…enjoy!!
On THIS LINK you will find more South African traditional recipes, like milk tart, scones, sugar cookies (soet koekies), etc.

Recipe and image:  http://cooksister.typepad.com/cook_sister/2004/05/whats_in_a_name.html

As any South African visitor will have noticed, my blog’s name is somewhat of a pun – if you happen to understand Afrikaans! Back home in SA we have a sweet pastry known as a “koeksuster” (literally translated as “cake sister” and pronounced “cook-sister”). The name comes form the Dutch koek (cake) and sissen (sizzle) – presumable a reference to their being deep fried. It is one of the few things which, despite the huge South African population in London, I have not seen in mainstream stores. This is not to say that someone, somewhere is not producing them in England – I just have not come across them.

So what exactly is a koeksuster? Well, the best analogy I can find is with doughnuts as they are also sweet doughy fritters, but that’s as far as the similarity goes. With koeksusters, the dough is rolled out flat and then plaited in 6cm lengths, deep-fried and then soaked in syrup and chilled overnight. They are absolutely delicious with tea or coffee and I have also seen miniature koeksusters served in lieu of petit fours. Below is a recipe, if you are in the mood for getting plaiting! But there is something of a dispute raging as to the provenance of these teatime treats.

On the one hand, we have the Afrikaans community who hold koeksusters dear and say that they were invented by their forebears as they colonised the Cape. On the other hand, we have the Cape Malay community who also claim koeksusters as their own, albeit in a somewhat different form – their variety is less sweet, covered with desiccated coconut and twisted as opposed to plaited. The taste is definitely more doughnuty than the Afrikaner version. 

KOEKSUSTERS

The syrup – to be made the day before and left in the fridge to cool.

Ingredients

6 cups of water
24g of root ginger
2.5kg granulated sugar

Method

Boil 3 cups of water with the peeled and sliced root ginger. Remove the ginger and add 3 more cups of water. Bring to boil again. Add the sugar and allow to boil for 5 minutes. Allow to cool and store in fridge. NB – it has to be in the fridge as you need your syrup to be chilled!

For the pastry:

Ingredients

6 cups plain flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
125g of butter
2 eggs
125ml evaporated milk
312ml lukewarm water
a pinch of salt
oil for frying

Mix all the above together and knead well, then leave to rest for 2 hours. Roll the dough flat into an oval/square until it is 5mm thick. Cut the dough into strips 2.5cm across. Then cut these strips into lengths of 6cm so that you are left with rectangles 2.5cm x 6cm Make two cuts along the length of the rectangles so that you can plait them – you are aiming for a plait similar to a 3-strand hair plait. When you have plaited each one, press the three strands together firmly at each end so that they do not come undone. Deep-fry each koeksuster in hot oil until crisp and golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and dip the whole cooked koeksuster immediately into your cool syrup. Remember – the koeksuster has to be hot and the syrup cold in order for the syrup to be absorbed by the dough! Remove from the syrup and allow to cool on a paper towels before eating.
