About the Potjiekos
The potjiekos is commonly used in South Africa and literally translates to “small-pot food”. It is commonly used outdoors over an open fire. It is traditionally cooked in a round cast iron, three-legged pot. The potjie is descended from the dutch oven brought over from the Netherlands to South Africa in the 17th century and can be found in many homes throughout southern Africa.
