Recipes from South Africa with Chillies . Braai

Many influences

Traditional South African cuisine was shaped by the influences of dishes brought to the country in its early days. Slaves who accompanied the Dutch to South Africa, Indians who worked on the sugar plantations and the Portuguese from countries like Mozambique, all played their part in developing the outstanding cuisine that it is today.

One ingredient that has stood out above all others in this process. This, of course, is the Chilli.  It is ubiquitous and used to make dishes like Chakalaka, Potjiekos, Chilli bites and biltong. Furthermore, not many braais ( barbeques) go by in the country without the appearance of Chilli in a rub, marinade or as a hot sauce.
