How to make a South African OXTAIL Potjie Recipe | Cast Iron Cooking | Wolkberg Artisans | Potjiekos

[@MickyBellRoberts]

Good afternoon, I saw your channel and checked it out. Very nice indeed, I just subscribed. We are expats from South Africa, been living in Huntesville, Texas for 33 years. I still have and use my #3 pot which I have had for 53 years. Brought it to Texas with us.

[@craigbuchler2265]

No narration required.....just the sounds of crisp fresh food being cut up and prepared...a perfect recipe being done expertly

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Thank you so much

[@barbsw2587]

I would prefer to leave out the pasta and have the potjie with traditional pap or dumplings. Love the recipe though and can't wait to try it. It looks so yummy. One could probably add a little red wine to it I suppose.👌🇿🇦😋

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

That's the great thing about a potjie. Your own creativity is your limit. You're right pap and potjie is great combo. Thank you for watching.

[@jareddavies5220]

Just bought 2.5kgs of oxtail from my butcher this morning. Can’t wait to try this recipe next weekend!

Followed this recipe last weekend. Didn't add the pasta and I served on a sweet potato mash and home made garlic bread as a side.. absolutely beautiful

[@jamesolsen6837]

getting ready to fire up the potjie this weekend and this recipe looks like straight fire! I turned a bunch of fellow South African that live in the States on to your channel this weekend at a Braai in Austin, Texas. Everyone made their own Borewors and we had a great time. All that was missing was a potjie pot. I'm working my way through all your videos, you are doing a great job preserving the culture thanks for taking the time to do it right.

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Absolutely! Ask away.

[@gerardbezuidenhout1737]

Ok, I got a great Present. A no. 3 Potjie pot. So yesterday I used it yesterday. Fried onions, 1 5kg beef, baby potatoes, carrots patty pans, baby marrow and cabbage. It was to lekker 4 my family and I. BUT!!!!!! It never fitted in my fridge. So this morning 4 breaky we lifted the lid and it was bubbling, it smelt great, not sour. I thought the cabbage made it bubble. Obviously it's not good to eat. Right??

[@gerardbezuidenhout1737]

So I made a potjie 4 the 1st time last night. I used fresh ingredients but when we lifted the lid this morning it was bubbling. Why?????

[@illalalodge1916]

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi. Its a vacuum coffee maker.This one is an old ABCO pot, not sure if they still make them.The glass ones are quite common now. My mom bought it many years ago ( knowing it was a coffee maker, but not how it works) been using it for about 2 years now- Works perfectly every time.

[@Momoka7]

I got a question, what is the Piece called, that you put on top of that Coofee Pot to cook Coffee? I know (and own) one of those Italian style Moka Pot, but this is not that, is it?

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

Hi. I used a ABCO vacuum coffee pot. It works in combination with the top and bottom pot. This pot is definitely older than a few years, and still works perfectly.

[@Momoka7]

@@WolkbergArtisans2019 Thanks for answering! I usual drink coffee from a normal Coffee Machine but that Italian Style Moka Pot creates Coffee that has a total different distinct taste. The only downside is it doesn't filter it good enough, and you end up with a pretty thick sludge in the bottom. That's why I am looking around for other ways to make Coffee. I think I have to give that ABCO vacuum coffee pot a go, if I can get a hold on one!

[@gerhal7076]

And 6 comments in,it starts....

[@Brenda-b9r]

I just wish that Aldi and Woolworths would stock this meat

[@dudleylandsberg1747]

No red wine. No spicing the meat while browning. No frying onions. Pot not sitting even. Too much liquid initially. Adding more water with no stock. Pot is boiling. Should be simmering (can see the meat is kind of tough at the end). Whole carrots not chopped. No potatoes. No rice or pap. And PASTA!!! Damn bru. You really did a weird one here😂 but hey you know each potjie to each man is his own creation. I definitely would have had a good taste of that though

[@manuelprenzlow7652]

Using gas, or in your case, coal comes close to sacrilege... Wood fire is the preferable way to go. With the lid put on slightly skew, it allows some of that smokey flavour into the potjie...

[@WolkbergArtisans2019]

I totally agree with the lid slightly skew to add smokey flavour to the potjie. I use wood or Charcoal- just depends what is available at the time.

[@manuelprenzlow7652]

Still a great tradition and a wonderful potjie.

Hi Alvin. I personally think there are to many rules and stigma regarding cooking. Too many do's and don'ts. If you stir your potjie and you enjoy it like that, it's perfect. If you layer your potjie and never stir and you enjoy it like that, it's also perfect. Cook it any way YOU like it. Thanks for watching.
