What you’ll need
5 tablespoons oil
Half red onion thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon turmeric, grated
2 fresh chillies, sliced
1 tablespoon medium curry powder
1 tablespoon Cajun spice
Quarter tablespoon paprika
Half red pepper, diced
Half yellow pepper, diced
2 carrots, sliced into ribbons
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
400g can baked beans
200g hot mango atchar
10g fresh coriander, chopped
How to make it
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until soft. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, chilli, curry powder, Cajun spice and paprika and stir to combine.
Add the peppers and cook for 3 minutes, then add the carrots and fry over a low heat until carrots are cooked.
Season and cook for 10 minutes, or until thick.
Remove from the heat and stir in the black beans. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then add the atchar and coriander.
Extra creamy Amarula cocktail or mocktail
A cocktail and dessert all-in-one, with a little dash of South African flavour thanks to the Amarula. This creamy liqueur blended with ice cream and topped with decadent chocolate shavings is the perfect creamy dessert cocktail you’ll want to sip on after a tasty meal. Want to ditch the liqueur without losing the decadence? No problem, you can use cold black coffee or cocoa drink as a substitute.
What you’ll need
1 and a half cup vanilla ice cream
3 tablespoons of fresh cream
Amarula or any other cream liqueur
Dark chocolate, finely grated, to garnish
How to make it
Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend for a few seconds until combined.
Pour into glasses and top with the grated chocolate.
Serve and enjoy.
