Chakalaka

I've recently made an amazing food discovery, and it's called "chakalaka." It's a traditional South African condiment that I can best describe as a vegetable chili. They sell it in cans here and I've been having it on toast a lot. Traditionally it's served with pap or within a stew/curry type of situation. The taste lies perfectly between your classic American-style chili and a fiery Indian curry. Spicy and delicious!

It's probably fairly difficult to find it canned in stores that aren't located in South Africa, so if you like to cook and want to give it a try...


The spicier the better!
