I live in Pennsylvania, but have taken an interest in South African food. I have five potjies and having been using four of them. I got my fifth one two days ago. I really like potjiekos. Now, to learn about the wines.
Here is a bit of advice, I'm not trying to be a douchebag here. First, Clean your Pot itself. And yes, the Outside too. Having pride in your potjoe starts with what the pot looks like. From the inside out. Secondly, You never use frozen vegetables in potjiekos. Never...ever. It cheapens the Culture of Potjiekos. Frozen vegetables and frozen food in general have a watered-down taste to them. Almost artificial. Lastly, never use your bare hands in a cast iron pot. One day you will burn your fingers. Pun intended. Also, it leaves a bad taste, no pun intended to the viewer or the people having to eat the food. Or maybe it is just me. It all adds to being clean when working with food.
Oh, dear brother you are so right, hands do not belong inside the potjie and beside a spoon does not cost a fortune. No, you are not a douchebag either and I fully agree with you Potjie has a special and long-standing culture. I cannot speak for others, but I reckon you may be one of those who enjoy going through the entire preparation phase like me. I salute you. Blessings ❤
@@chefbob09 Dude. The UA-camr took the ADVICE like a mature adult. And I applaud him for that. Why cant you see it the same way? This was just advice. Listening and taking Advice and critique is what makes us Masters in our craft.
I love it how you kept the whole scene all simple and Traditional, the cultural way.
Right on boet.
Lekker

Unfortunately, I'm not much of a wine connoisseur, as I generally don't drink wine (I'm just not a fan).
You can not beat Cast Iron, Love the sizzle when you added the onions
I love all my cast iron stuff!
Looks delicious love the step by step method ❤
Just started my fire now, excited to make potjie
Great potjie. Liquid well controlled but the frozen veggies at the end is a definite No No…
My favorite potjies are lamb curry, followed by beef similar to the one you are making here.
Lamb is not super popular here in the US, nor is decent curry :-(
Well done young man..
Thank you!
I’m wondering how much sand got in that pot from throwing the lid down on the ground?
Do you have a video on making pap?
Usually add some rice,

you must never put the lid on the ground... the dirt will go into the potjie.
