Ah, South Africa. It’s a melting pot of cultures that has resulted in myriad tantalising local dishes. From spicy Cape Malay curries to pap en vleis, dombolo and more, it’s impossible to narrow down South African dishes to just one favourite.

 

CAPE MALAY CURRY

It’s the dish that signifies chaotic Sunday lunches: family banter, kids playing, third helpings and the obligatory doggie bag.

PAP EN VLEIS

Bake spicy Asian-style vleis in pap baskets for a modern take on your traditional pap en vleis.

VETKOEK

It’s the simple, deep-fried dough that all South Africans love. Serve piping hot with the filing of your choice. Pro tip: they’re particularly good dipped in soup. Give it a try.

TAMATIESMOOR

What’s a boerie roll without a wholesome helping of tangy smoor? This easy tamatiesmoor is quick to prep, but best left simmering for as long as possible.

DOMBOLO (DUMPLINGS)

These dumplings are made using half mielie meal and half cake flour for a grittier texture. Add a cup of drained canned corn kernels for something a little different.

PUMPKIN FRITTERS

Best eaten piping hot, while standing around the kitchen table.
