Those look wonderful, especially the lamb.

The only thing I’ve known about South African cooking, is the Potjie - I’ve wanted one ever since I saw this video from Dale Calder; it looks like such a useful little cast iron pot, and they come with legs, for over a fire, or flat-bottomed, for use on a stove:

I am a SA expat. Potjie is overrated IMHO. Being enclosed it does not pick up any Smokey flavor (well hardly). You might as well just cook those recipes in a cast iron dutch oven on a burner or in the stove. Is cool for camping though with a caveat*** in a camper/motor home.

*** If you are on foot you DON’T want to be the one carrying that damned heavy pot ;-) They are Heller heavy.
