This potjie was amazing! I bought my potjie pot 2 weeks ago and decided to do this recipe for it’s initiation. This was the first ever potjie I made and it turned out BRILLIANT!

This is possibly the best venison shin recipe I have tried! I used Kudu shin and replaced the venison stock with veggie stock. I also doubled up on all the quantities. I left the bones in the pot – the meat fell off the bone and the marrow could easily be “removed” – Brett
