EPISODE 8: RECIPE
Mum’s Sunday Vetkoek
STEP 1 – Cooking the vetkoek
- To prepare the ‘vetkoek’, heat a pot of oil. Use a small amount of the dough to check your oil is at the correct temperature.
- Divide the dough into 8 oval balls and fry until golden and cooked in the centre, turning all the while.
- Make sure the oil doesn’t get too hot! Place onto paper towels to drain excess oil.
STEP 2 – Cooking the curried mince
- Heat the oil and add the onions with a pinch of salt followed by the garlic, ginger and spices.
- Saute for a few minutes until fragrant and then add the mince to brown.
- Once the mince is browned reduce the heat and add the tomatoes and simmer for 30min. Stir through the chutney and season to taste.
- Cut open each vetkoek and fill with curried mince.
