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.
Inspired by his Venda heritage, Chef Funi’s Sardines with Mabele is rich flavour. The Lucky Star Sardines gives it that elevated tang. Best served warm with fried sardines, tomato, onion relish and fried cabbage.
