Pap dis--recipe..South African side dish with BBQ!

As I promised some of my chess players....and all other people from other countries...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 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"....

Chakalaka--for your bbq!

Chakalaka
Chakalaka is as South African as rugby, braaivleis and sunny skies! Even Chevrolet is back now!
Chakalaka is an ideal side dish or usually eaten with pap at the barbeque.
This is how you make it:
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 green pepper, chopped
1/2 cabbage, shredded
1/2 cauliflower, broken into small florets
3 carrots, grated or julienned
2 - 3 chillies (depending on taste)
2 tomatoes, chopped
410 gram can baked beans in tomato sauce (optional)
salt to taste
Heat the oil and fry the onion, garlic and pepper until soft. Add cabbage, cauliflower and carrots and cook until limp. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve as a side dish at braais or over pap

Typical South African Food

When visiting family during our holiday, we were treated with all kinds of "typical South African" food...which was really nice.....Potjie Kos...biltong, pap-dis (which only South Africans know... a kind of side dish), ....a PROPER BBQ! (or 2).... and my favourite...boerpampoen!...(picture with next post) I have to add that this was dished-up in the kitchen due to the iron pot!

Food ready in the iron pot... See this site

It is almost like a stew...but not just any stew!



On this picture above, you can see samp, which is tasty when served the Potjie Kos - even rice can be served with it. I like both.
