How to make Potjiekos

Source: Instructables

“Potjiekos” is a traditional Afrikaner dish hailing from South Africa. It originated with the Voortrekkers in the 1800’s and is still widely prepared and enjoyed in South Africa today. It is a simple dish, easy to prepare, with few ‘rules’  but hundreds of variants. When done properly a “potjie” needs little to no supervision and practically prepares itself. It thus allows you time to enjoy the company of your friends and family while preparing the meal. “Potjiekos”, translated would mean ‘Little Pot’ (potjie) ‘Food’ (kos) and although it resembles a stew it is not a stew and is not prepared like a stew.
