Currently Craving: Homemade Gyros 🇬🇷

These were fresh, crunchy and delicious! Everything you want on a Sunday afternoon.

Filled them with some chicken and lamb straight from the braai and added some traditionally greek flavours with tomatoe, cucumber, red onion and chilli. Finished off with loads of tzatziki, ofcourse.

A new take on homemade burgers.. 🍔

I substituted the traditional burger bun for a homemade flatbread and it was such a nice and healthier alternative on a family favourite.

Flatbread:
2 cups double cream yoghurt
4 cups self raising flour

Fry them in n pan on the stove until golden and crispy and serve them with your patties, and add your toppings of choice.

Every year we spend the holidays with my brothers and their families at my parent’s house in Keurboomstrand. This annual family gathering is something we all look forward to all year long. It’s a time of year I always cherish, and the cousins can't wait to see each other. Our days are spent fishing, swimming, beaching and of course, indulging in delicious food. We turn every meal into an event, and, of course, most meals start with fresh fish as appetizers.

I have some pictures from last year's Christmas lunch for inspiration and will definitely post this year's too.

We enjoyed fresh fruits, beef tongue with homemade mustard, and Oupa’s homemade fish pate (freshly caught on his boat). The main course included lamb on the rotisserie, Ouma’s famous oxtail (which deserves its own video), potato bake, rice, and veggies.

Just look at those beautiful salads – one is a fine bean and roasted tomato salad, and the other is roasted cauliflower with tahini dressing and crispy onions.

For dessert, we had vanilla strawberry sponge cake, ice cream, homemade chocolate sauce, and some truffles. Later that evening, we all dished up again and enjoyed the leftovers.

I used some lamb shanks I had leftover from our christmas party and added some chops.

Ingredients:
2kg Lamb
1,4kg Tomatoes
Cooking oil/Beef tallow
3 White Onions
2 cups Warm Water
6 Potatoes (peeled & halved)
8 Black Peppercorns
Salt
White Pepper
3-4 tsp Sugar
3 tbl Worcestershire Sauce
4 Bay Leaves

Method:
Coat the lamb in flour, salt & pepper and browned in oil. Remove the meat and fry the onions in the same pan.
Add everything to a caserole with warm water.
Cook in the oven for 1,5 hours.
Add the potatoes and tomatoes (that were soaked in hot water and then peeled and chopped).
Add the sugar, peppercorns and salt, worcestershire sauce and bay leaves.
Back into the oven for another 2 hours.
Remove the lid for the last 30mins.

Tip: if the sauce is too thick for your liking mix some butter and flour and add to your sauce.

What is this..?

🌟Beef Tallow🌟

Im sure this block will last us a while, it’s healthier than cooking oil and cheaper than butter.

I’ve been using it in the kitchen on and with almost everything.
Breakfast this morning was some fried ciabatta with a delicious and intersting open omelette thing-a-ma-jig.

Melted some tallow on the stove, placed tomato slices at the bottom of the pan, whisked 3 eggs with salt and pepper, added sweet basil and garlic spice, poured it over the tomatoes to cook through.

Chopped up a spring onion and grated some cheese with origanum spice for garnish.
