Chef Liziwe’s Chakalaka Umbhako is a traditional steamed cornbread dish, that’s budget-friendly and easy to cook with a little personal edge. A classic recreation of a traditional dish that’s best served with bread, fried chips and grated cheese.
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.
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.
