This recipe was easy, not too expensive and relatively quick to make compared to other potjies I’ve made. It was really tasty as well. Everyone who ate it, loved it. Thanks
I have a very similar recipe that my friends in SA gave me a few years ago. It is a big hit back in the UK when we go on winter camping trips in the Lake District – we get the fire going and cook this amazing potjie!!
What a potjie!! Very easy to make – exceptional tastr. Made it twice now and everyone loved it.
NICE
I love anything made stove top, just because if you get it right, it comes out absolutely fabulous. This is great stuff an I bet worcester makes a difference!
This is the best ,cheapest, chicken potjie with the best tasting mushrooms!, there is just 3 things to change: 1. use WHITE onion soup powder and Oxtail soup powder 2. Use 500g button mushrooms and don`t slice them 3. don`t be scared to use more apricot jam. I have made this potjie almost 10 times and every time everyone loved it.
This was very easy to make and tasted awesome! My 87 year old grandma that hates everything loved it and had seconds, now thats saying something. I will make this again. Thanks
Do you add whole chicken breast on bone, or sliced deboned chicken breast?
hello, I am planning to make this recipe for the first time. Does it really need 4 diced onions and 12 baby onions? I am thinking about omitting one or the other. Those of you who have made it before, what do you think?
This was an amazing recipe. I use FRESH veggies and white onion soup and it was so divine everyone commented.
