About Potjiekos
Advance Seed's South African potjie combines beef on the bone with a mixture of beans and vegetables. The publisher presents it as a traditional potjie, with pulses providing much of its substance.
Carrots, baby potatoes, mushrooms and creamed sweetcorn accompany the beef. Butter, onion, garlic, fresh chilli and mixed herbs season the pot, with red wine offered as an addition.
The five-bean mixture includes sugar beans, red and white kidney beans, haricot beans and black-eyed beans. This substantial version belongs to the shared, fireside cooking described by the publisher.
