Chakalaka is a traditional South African recipe for a fiery tomato relish. You can eat it with almost anything and either hot or cold. It is thought to originate in Jo'burg and ask anyone for a recipe and you will never hear the same ingredients twice.  Baked beans are often added.  Try it and see!

 

 

1 large onion, finely diced.

6 large tomatoes, skinned and finely chopped

2 green peppers, finely diced

4 large carrots, peeled and grated

2 tsp curry powder

2 small hot chillies, finely diced

a couple of splashes of peri peri sauce to taste

pinch of salt

150ml vegetable oil.

 

Method: 

Heat the oil in a pan then add the onions and green peppers. Fry until soft before adding the carrots, tomatoes and chillies.

Mix thoroughly and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 1 minute (stirring occasionally). Towards the end of the cooking time use a broad spoon to squash the ingredients against the side of the pan so that the mixture becomes smooth.

Add all the remaining ingredients and cook for a further 15 minutes.
