Alpha’s Famous Chakalaka (recipe)

Ingredients

  • 1 Onion (chopped)
  • 2 Green peppers (chopped)
  • 10g BBQ spice
  • 10g Peri peri sauce
  • 10g Curry powder
  • 6 Tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 Small tin baked beans
  • 5g Salt
  • 4 Large carrots (grated)
  • 10ml Vegetable or olive oil

     

  • Chakalaka is a South African vegetable relish, usually spicy, that is traditionally served with bread, pap, samp, stews, or curries. Chakalaka may have originated in the townships of Johannesburg or in the gold mines surrounding Johannesburg, when Mozambican mineworkers coming off shift cooked tinned produce (tomatoes, beans) with chilli to produce a spicy relish with a Portuguese flair to accompany pap. The many variations on how to make Chakalaka often depend on region and family tradition.

    Florence’s version – served alongside fried eggs, traditional boerewors sausage and crispy polenta to make up our African Sunrise breakfast special – is a piquant, fragrant version with not too much heat. It is easy to make at home and you will find the ingredients almost everywhere.

    Method
    Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan; add the onion and spices and fry until golden. Add the rest of the ingredients, season, and cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat and chill!
