Maklike gemmerbier

Bobotie (Beef Pie)

2 ounces butter
1 cup onions, thinly sliced
1 apple, peeled, diced
2 pounds chopped cooked beef
2 bread slices soaked in milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
6 bay leaves
1 egg
1/2 cup whole milk

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes, then add the apple dice and cook for another minute. Add the chopped beef and combine. Squeeze out the excess milk from the bread slices, then tear up and add to pot. Add the curry powder, raisins, almonds, lemon juice, egg, and turmeric, and stir well.

Place mixture in a greased 9 x 13" baking dish. Place bay leaves vertically in the casserole. Bake at 325 degrees F for 40 minutes, then remove from the oven. Mix together the egg and milk, then pour it over the Bobotie. Bake for 15 more minutes. Remove bay leaves before serving.

For the koeksister batter:

1 egg, beaten
6 tablespoons of milk
2 cups flour
6 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt

For the koeksister syrup:

4 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon of cream of tartar
½ teaspoon of tartaric acid
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence or
1 teaspoon of grated orange rind or
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or
1/3 teaspoon of ground ginger

It’s best to make the syrup first and leave it in the fridge overnight.

Method:

The syrup: Add the dry ingredients to the water and bring the mixture to the boil. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes or until it starts to turn “syrupy”. Set it aside, allow to cool and then place in the fridge overnight.

The batter: Sift the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl (flour, baking powder and salt). Cut or rub the margarine or butter into them, as with making pastry.

Add the milk to the beaten egg and then add this to the flour mixture. Again, as with pastry making, it’s important to handle the mixture as little as possible. Place this koeksister dough in the fridge for at least an hour.

Roll the cold dough to a thickness of about ¼ of an inch and cut into strips that are approximately 3.5 inches long and about an inch wide. Cut each strip into three lengthways, leaving one side uncut at the end. Plait the pieces, pressing the cut ends firmly together at the end.

Frying the koeksister dough
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan and remove half of the syrup from the fridge and deep-fry the koeksisters in the oil until they turn golden brown. Drain them on absorbent paper.

Dip the koeksisters into the cold syrup for a few seconds. It’s important to do this while they are still hot to get the right texture, as this will seal the syrup outside and leave the inside of the koeksister dry/crispy in contrast.

As you follow this process with more koeksisters, the syrup will gradually become warmer, so when about half way through, use the second batch of syrup that you have in the fridge.

Now taste the joy of a koeksister and coffee – while watching rugby!

Soetkoekies (Spice and Wine Cookies)

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup brown sugar
4 ounces chopped almonds
1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup port or sherry
1 egg white, beaten

Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, brown sugar, and almonds in a large bowl. Add the butter and cut into the flour mixture. Add the beaten eggs and red wine and mix dough together vigorously until it can be formed into a ball.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rough circle about 1/4" thick. With a cookie cutter, cut the dough into 2" rounds. Arrange the rounds about 1" apart on a buttered cookie sheet. Continue cutting cookies, then brush each gently with the egg white. Bake for 15 minutes—until golden brown. Remove to a rack to cool completely.

Hoender Pastei (Boer Chicken Pie)

One 5-6 pound chicken (hen)
1/2 teaspoon mixed pickling spices
1 tablespoon salt
2 medium onions, peeled, halved
4 carrots, peeled, halved
2 ounces butter
6 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup white wine
Salt, pepper
2 egg yolks
4 tablespoons lemon juice
3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
4 ounces Danish ham, sliced thinly
Pie crust dough
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

In a stewpot, place the chicken, spices, salt, onions, and carrots, and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Strain the broth and reserve. Cut the chicken up into bite-sized pieces. Slice the carrots and reserve.

In a saucepan, heat the butter over moderate heat. Add flour and stir well, forming a roux. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, then add 3 cups of the reserved chicken broth, the wine, salt and pepper. Stir until thickened slightly. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and lemon juice together until frothy, then add to the sauce. Beat well, and continue cooking until sauce thickens more. Remove from the heat.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a 4 quart deep-dish baking pan, place the chicken uniformly on the bottom. Arrange the hard-boiled egg slices on top of the chicken, and then top with the ham slices. Spread the reserved carrot slices, then cover with the sauce.

Roll out the pie crust, and lay it over the baking dish. Press along the edge firmly and trim excess. Score in several places to allow steam to escape. Brush dough with egg.

Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F and bake 30 minutes longer. Crust should be golden brown.

Biltongpot

 Met die (hopelik) oorvloed van biltong na die jagseisoen, is hierdie resep die ware Jakob. Anders moet jy maar van daardie pakkies by die supermark kry of 'n maat afpers!
Bestanddele:
500g gesnyde biltong
500g pasta (enige vorm, maar spaghetti pas nie so lekker nie)
250g botter (of margarien as jou gewete pla)
1 gekapte ui
1 pakkie gesnyde sampioene
lekker groot lepel gekapte knoffel
2 pakkies kits witsous
handvol gekapte kruie
250ml room
250ml gerasperde kaas
Metode:
Smelt die botter, braai die uie, knoffel en sampioene tot die geur almal begin nadertrek. Gooi nou die biltong so in 'n lekker laag oor hierdie braaisel. Maak van hier af seker dat jou hitte baie saggies is. Dis 'n kuierpot, nie 'n wegneemete nie! Gooi jou pasta nou oor hierdie kontrepsie. Maak die pakkies kitssous met genoeg kookwater aan om alles te bedek. Maak toe en kuier rustig. Elke keer as jy wil glas volmaak, maak jy net seker daar is nog vloeistof in die pot. Na so 'n uur begin jou mond behoorlik water. Haal van die hitte af, gooi die room en kaas oor en meng goed deur. Selfs pasta-haters eet hul lippe af!
