Regardless of your background or language Christmas is a time of joyful festivities and of course food. Despite falling in the full force of summer Christmas meals include hot dishes with roasts or braais (barbecues) being common accompanied by a variety of salads side dishes and desserts. Let’s sit down for a South African Christmas meal.

The trick is to slice the potatoes very thinly so they cook evenly and cook them slowly so they can absorb the flavored liquid. Spice it up with whatever extras you like like mushrooms bacon or biltong (South African jerky that resembles dried beef).
