	Potjiekos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In South Africa, Potjiekos (poy-kee-kawse), directly translated "pot food", is a stew prepared outdoors in a cast iron, round, three legged pot (the potjie) using either wood coals or charcoal.
		The ingredients are meat, vegetables, rice and water and it is traditionally simmered for hours while people socialise around a fire, enjoying side dishes.
		Today there are numerous recipe books and potjiekos chefs, each with their own "secret" ingredients for potjiekos.

		Potjiekos has been with us for centuries, in fact since the days of the first settlement at the Cape when food was cooked in a fl cast-iron pot hanging from a chain over the kitchen fire.
		Potjiekos is a friendly food, to be enjoyed by rich or poor, young and not so young, city-dwellers and country folk, needing only one's imagination when it comes to selecting the ingredients.
		Potjiekos has changed all that: it affords the opportunity once again to relax and enjoy a few hours in the easy, sociable atmosphere that develops around the bubbling pot.

		Potjiekos is SLOW cooking but healthy and fun cooking, in that the method and preparation preserves all of the vital minerals and vitamins that normally get destroyed with fast food.
		Traditionally potjiekos is a stew, made either with lamb, beef, fish or poultry but always together with vegetables.
		If you are cooking potjiekos over a fire, you may place coals around the gutter in the lid, the heat will “creep” through the metal to the apex of the domed lid, giving you an evenly heated top heat source.

	Everything You Wanted to Know About Potjiekos
		In South Africa this means only one thing, food prepared outdoors in a cast iron, round, three legged pot using either wood coals or charcoal.
		Timing is also very important, apart from the time the potjie needs to become cooked you have to factor in the time it takes for the wood or charcoal to become coals, so in most cases you will have to start LONG before dinner time.
		But the beauty of preparing potjiekos is that it gives you time to sip your favorite drink and enjoy chatting to your guests while sitting round a friendly fire.
