Welcome Enjoy!

Namibian slow cooked stew, Potjie is usually done over coals.  The Slow Cooker works equally well producing a great one-pot dish for sharing. 

Method

  1. Heat oil in heavy-based fry pan or wok and stir fry onion, pepperdew or capsicum and pork until onion transparent.
  2. Transfer to slow cooker and stir in saffron, bay leaves, rice and water.
  3. Cover and cook on high until water absorbed by rice (approx. 3 hours).
  4. Stir in peas and lemon and cook on high until peas heated through.

Terrific Tips

  • Smoked pork fillet is ideal - but addition of smoked ham or bacon pieces also adds delicious flavour.
  • Replace the peas with small spinach leaves.
