Inspired by Chef Lentswe’s upbringing in KZN, this Lentil Pilchard curry contains hints of the Durban flavour. Lucky tip: Be sure not to hold back on the pineapples, as this elevates the dish from a simple, budget-conscious meal to gourmet.
Our Pilchard stew with Chakalaka & dumplings serves up to 6 people is can be cooked in 60 minutes. Lucky Tip: You know it’s ready when you insert a sharp knife in the centre and it comes out clean, if not continue to cook.
