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.
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.
Inspired by his Venda heritage, Chef Funi’s Pilchard Stew is a simple dish with rich flavours and memories!
