Easy lamb potjie recipe

I love it, add some mushy peas as well and now you're talking Pommy pub lunch

Just leave the egg out of it. Everything else is okay, even the mushy peas.

Who eats steak, egg and chips? Revolting! just the idea makes my stomach start to turn. Cant even watch others eating it.

I prefer the Euro version. Steak, pasta and a fried egg on top.

Eggs are great. Especially when you crack one open and you can't tell where the egg ends and the chicken begins...

The cast iron and the smoke and flame add a complexity of flavour that you do not get on a stove top.

Made many a potjie in my life but never had smoke and flames in my potjie... Doing potjiekos on open grill/rooster kinda sux...

Agree, I make potjies often and sometimes even on the stove top with my flat pot. Tastes the same as making it outdoors with coals as the pot is closed 99% of the time
The cast iron does give it a unique flavour

I always scoop everything out into tupperware later in the evening before I go to sleep as I can taste all that iron the next day if it is still in the pot. My taste buds are super sensitive with iron.

Especially if the pot has been cured with a hadeda stew first.

have not yet come up with a way to use a three-legged pot on the stove.

I have the round 3 legged ones and also a round flat bottom one, perfect on a stove, will post pics of it when Im home

@Geoff.D coming here and ramble rousing. There is a culture behind the movement of S/E/C. There is a name for it when you have the egg on the side or the egg on top of the steak, its like a Rangler/Renegade steak or something. I have taken eggs to my local before and made steak, egg and chips before, because they are silly like you and only offer steak and chips. Bottomline is my eggs pair well with a 300gram rump steak.

One small change, brown the meat first, remove from the pot, THEN do the onions etc and add the meat again. and BTW, works just as well in a normal pot on the stove. The potjie, of course, adds to the experience and enjoyment, no question.

Thanks for the tip and you are most certainly right!!
