Plan a proudly South African feast with Le Creuset! In celebration of Heritage month, we’ve asked some of our favourite foodies to share their best-loved heritage recipes for you to recreate at home.
The Lazy Makoti (Mogau) is a trained chef and award winning cookbook author. She founded The Lazy Makoti in 2014 after leaving the corporate world to focus on her love for food. What began as lessons for a friend, a bride-to-be who was afraid of being labelled “The Lazy Makoti” (the lazy daughter-in-law) because she couldn’t cook, evolved into a business, and inspired its name. Through The Lazy Makoti, Mogau shares her passion for food and people through her live interactive cooking lessons and her widely followed social media.
Umngqhusho (Samp and Beans) with Lamb
““Umngqusho (samp and beans) is a traditional Xhosa dish loved by many South Africans, myself included. It brings back such fond memories of my grandmother and her village kitchen. I remember her sitting outside, patiently sorting the samp to remove any odd grains before soaking it overnight which helps shorten the cooking time. Then the anticipation of knowing how delicious tomorrow’s lunch would be.”
“It’s perfect all year round; the creaminess of the samp will have you going back for seconds. I love that this meal really goes a long way and is just so comforting. It can be served on its own or with vegetables.”
