thanks useful
Divine, the best Potjie I ever tasted. Changed the receipt slightly added two storks of thyme instead of a bouquet garni. Added barbeque spice two teaspoons. Added the 1 liter of beef stock after the red wine and sherry the instruction not listed in the recipe cooked for one hour. Then added about 16 baby potatoes and green beans in hour two.
Hi there, can anyone tell me how long to cook the oxtail potjie if I am doubling up the quantities?
Ta!
Cooking time should be the same. Use larger pot for bigger quantities. Check heat though – pot must simmer.
Anybody knows of potjiekos competitions during March in Cape Town?
Used the recipe for the first time in a casual church potjie competition and WON! Not reall surprising because it is so tasty. Thanks for the recipe.
Great recipe. I won a small church potjie competition using it. Very tasty.
Tried this recipe in a pressure cooker as a mid week family meal to save on time – using recommendations of Julius’ additions as per Response #2 absolutely delicious. Thanks – a well fed family and happy mum
Ours took a lot longer than 4 hrs and led to many fights about the opening up of the lid all the time…..
Wow, what a taste! I don’t normally cook. This was the first time that I cooked a potjie for my family. The taste from this recipe and the enhancement by Julius (#2) was amazing. My family enjoyed the food and the fact that I made the effort. Thanks for making so easy.
Does any one know of any potjie competitions the week of oct 22 in either the karoo or cape town??!!
Can you cook a potjie over a gas ring?
Yes Cathy, you can.. Actually it’s easier to regulate temperature with gas. 🙂
If you guys want an extra booste of awesome taste to this pot, scrap the tomato paste and rather add 3x table spoons of peanut butter and 4 table spoons of Dijon mustard, WHAT A WINNER it comes out tasting then!! 🙂
I will be making my first potjie on monday… i am soo excited!!! can not wait – i have been talking about this on all my facebook groups today…. we love talking about potjies…
Hi
Whats the name of the red wine and sherry used in this recipe ? im not to crued up on alcohol – sorry 🙂
You can add rosemary and cloves gives it an extra twist to the flavour

Hi, I also dont use alcohol. Any replacements or suggestions?
I added biltong after 3 hours… was out of this world
How do. You serve 8 people with only 500 g oxtails?? Oxtails have bones, you are looking at 3- 4 pieces for 500g . A small packet of oxtails are all ready 1 kg. Every one seem to publish this one recipy. Even Jamie Oliver uses 2.5 kg oxtails for 8 people. I fail tonsee feeding 3 people using only 1/2 kg of oxtails, you will barely taste the meat???
Same time, its still one pot and you can add coke, the drink, instead of alcohol
Wow – this is what potjiekos is all about. This is the king of recipes.
I have tweaked this recipe somewhat. 500g of Oxtail is nowhere near enough for 8 people, I always use 2kg minimum and try and use the thicker part of the oxtail as the thinner parts tend to cook away. I have substituted the bacon pieces with smoked Pork hock ( knuckle )cut into bite size pieces with skin on and fried, I add the hock bone to the potjie but discard when cooking is done. I also add 1.5 kg Beef Cheeks to the recipe. I substitute the mushrooms with baby potatoes. I use two leeks only, but use the whole leek including the green part. Try this tweak and you’ll find that this recipe will be taken to the next level. This will satisfy 10-12 people but they will come back for more.
Made the recipe and then saw there is no instruction as to what to do with the beef stock.
Its not mentioned anywhere.
Help!
Apologies for the late reply Ginny, and thanks for spotting that. The stock goes into the potjie at the same time as the oxtail and other ingredients is added back. Updated step 8 in the Method. Thanks!
