  1. ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rise the sweet potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces. Spread them on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. BEEF

    Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the schnitzel dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the schnitzel until browned, 20-30 seconds per side. In the final 30 seconds, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and season. Cut into bite-sized chunks.

  3. CHAKALAKA

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil if necessary. When hot, fry the sliced onions and the diced peppers until slightly soft and browning, 6-7 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, the curry blend, and the grated carrot. Fry until fragrant, allowing the tomatoes to break down into a sauce, 4-5 minutes. Add 50ml of water, the drained beans, and the sliced chilli (to taste). Simmer until the mixture thickens to a chunky texture, 4-5 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the beef chunks. Remove from the pan, add a sweetener (to taste), season, and cover to keep warm.

  4. IT’S THAT TIME CHEF!

    Dish up the roasted sweet potato and side with the loaded chakalaka beef. Scatter over the diced cucumber and sprinkle over the chopped parsley. Jabulela ukudla kwakho, Chef!
