- Potjiekos is pretty awesome, and today I decided to share this with you guys. I haven't had a nice potjie in a few years and haven't really made one solo. This was my first attempt at that. Do enjoy ! Let me know what you think of Potjiekos.
PLEASE NOTE: All the animals you saw are our pets and I promise I didn't chop any of them. Although we have these 3 pet sheep and the one is a very aggro Ram and enjoys hurting and chasing me. Maybe one day that Ram might go take a very long "walk" and the next day the freezer is suddenly full. #ImJustSaying

Potjiekos
Type Stew
Place of origin South Africa
Main ingredients Meat, vegetables like cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, potatoes; beer or a dessert wine
In South Africa, a potjiekos /ˈpɔɪkiːkɒs/, literally translated "small-pot food", is a dish prepared outdoors. It is traditionally cooked in a round, cast iron, three-legged pot, the potjie, descended from the Dutch oven brought from the Netherlands to South Africa in the 17th century and found in the homes and villages of people throughout Southern Africa.

Fire needs oxygen to burn - leave some space for air to get into the bottom of the fire if you don't want it to go out. And add bigger pieces of wood and wait for a while for them to become coals.
will do thank you !

What size of pot is this one?
Hey, its a 1. i always thought the really small ones is like a 1 but nope, this one says size 1.
@@ladysh4rk So a no. 3 would be large?
@@friarrodneyburnap4336 So i checked for you and it says the no.1 is 3 litres, no. 2 = 6 litres, no. 3 = 7.8 litres, and this goes up to size 25 which is 70.5 litres ! wow thats big. A size 4 is 9.3 litres and they say is enough to feed 8 people.
BUSH POTATOES😂
Does the Coke harm the seasoning of the pot? Thought that white wine was the traditional liquid. Great video - love this kind of cooking
Coaljet Hey, basically the coke tenderize the meat and adds a bit of sweetness. A lot of people add red or white wine. I just didn't have any 😁 You should try coke ribs tho. Wow So good
That's a scary intro pointing a sword to a cat
dont worry there are 7 cats, they are all still alive lol.

😛😛😛😛👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀🍀
is that traditional coca cola???? this is not a traditional potjiekos this is chicken stew cooked in a potjie so please don't say you are cooking traditional potjiekos it's not cooked in layers too much lid off and too much stirring ask your ouma how to do it
"Potjiekos" is a traditional Afrikaner dish hailing from South Africa.The difference between a "potjie" and a stew is that a "potjie" is never stirred during the cooking process and is always cooked slowly over hot coals or a fire in a cast iron pan."
Hey Eric, as you can see the style of cooking is the actual "traditional potjie" part. There is no fixed recipe for potjie, in the old days people didn't have much so they would literally put anything they had in there. its the whole cooking over a fire and in the cast iron part, letting it cook in layers and slowly that is the whole point and meaning of the phrase "traditional potjie" It doesn't matter what you put in there as long as you cook it and enjoy it! I don't think I stirred it after i added the layers. I didn't want to make it too complicated with too many layers either, its just a simple chicken potjie my dude.
@@ladysh4rk you should practice what you preach you can't make a traditional pot easily that's whole point it has to be done correctly and I don't remember anyone using coke
@@ericbeckett4474Hey Eric, if this video was about the recipe then i would have called it traditional recipe potjie, but there is no wrong or right ingredient. You can put in what ur heart desires, the possibilities are endless. Its the actual traditional way of cooking a potjie in my opinion thats the most important part. The fact that you make it over coals or fire, the fact that you do it over a long period of time. No one has the traditional recipe tho coz there never was one. People added what they had to it. There is no traditional recipe set in stone. The tradition part all comes down to how you cook it. If this was some complex cooking show then sure my dude you can go heavily into detail, but its literally a very easy and simple chicken potjie. I wish you many awesome potjies ahead. Its not what you cook, its how you cook it.
Hey Eric Beckett, shut up ! This is a very nice video and the food looks nice. You sound like real "Verkrampte" old ass. Leave the girl alone, she's doing a great job.
Try watching the video - it was in layers, and was added according the amount of cooking time required.
