Africa Wild

And another highlight awaited us when we returned to the camp for the night. Charlie, the resident cape fox was out and about and relaxing away from her offspring. Alas, those were nowhere to be seen…

She was still there when we passed the waterhole on our way back.

Dinner: Potjie with boerwors, corn, onions, potatoes, sweet chili sauce, garlic, cider and beer – divine!

PM me your potjie recipe please (or post it here) as it sounds cool

Here it goes - recipe for easy potjie:

Use as much boerwors as you like and you can fit into the potjie.
Divide the big wors into chunks of about 8 cm.
Use any veg you got and cut it into big pieces.
Or open a can of corn and put it in (without the brine)
Peel a few onions (again a matter of how many you want and how many
you can fit in the pot) and quarter them.
Peel the potatoes if you like (I left the skin on) and put them in in whole
(medium to small potatoes, big ones need to be halved)
Add a good dash of All Gold sweet chili sauce (I'd say it was like 5 tablespoons).
Add a generous tablespoon of American mustard.
Season with garlic flakes (I was very generous with that), some oregano,
salt (modestly, rather add some after the potjie is done) and ground pepper.
Add a can / bottle of lager and cider each (we used Castle and Savannah) so that
at least the wors is covered with the liquid and the vegs aren't sticking out too much.
If necessary - use more liquids. (Also for your throat while preparing the potjie -O )
Make the whole thing boil and reduce heat and keep it simmering for about 1.5 hours.
