Best lamb potjie recipe I have seen on TH-cam. I had never done a potjie before, and this video takes you through all the steps. Done it a number of times now with great success
I lived in South Africa back in the 1990’s. I experienced firsthand the incredible Potjiekos phenomenon. But I never asked how it was done. I was always invited to friends homes to partake for dinner. After watching your video, I’m inspired to buy a cast iron kettle and try it here in the USA. Once perfected I will invite family and friends to come over and have fellowship around the Potjie. Thanks for the thorough instructions!
I'm glad you have been inspired. Good luck finding a pot, I'm certain there must be a few traditional SA pots available, but failing that a Dutch Oven will work almost as well. Good luck!
Good morning, I have had my potjie for 53 years now. I take good care of it. I have just subscribed so we can stay in touch via our channels.
Tops...like tg way you explained step by step.👍👍👍
I love your fire box /pit
Really helpful. Im from South Africa and live in England. Got my first potjie pot yesterday. Off to get mutton now and do my first potjie. Thanks for video mate
This recipe is absolutely fantastic and was huge success, thanks!!!!!
Awesome, great job
Brilliant, I make mine very similar. I don’t use sugar but I do add 2 tablespoons of red current jelly also garlic and Rosemary. Thanks for making this. I’m wiping out the potjie this weekend because of this video
Looks great!!thanks👍
Chris I followed your guide on the Potjie today , bud it is definitely the most yummy Potjie I've ever had ....the tomato paste really comes in as making this super awesome ... 5 star buddy

Europeans and Americans watching this vid seeing a white guy cooking outside his brick hut with a cast iron pot. I LOVE SOUTH AFRICA! Dankie Chris, deffos going to make this!
I enjoyed watching❤
Nice one Chris, now all I want to do is make a poytjie! Great vid
Shot man, appriciate the support!
Did you guys see the end results? I see a guy stirring away for 12 minutes.. Cooking water
As a matter interest how much does the no 5 poitjie weigh.
I inherited one from the 50s.
It was made by Falkirk in Scotland.
The walls seem thinner than the modern ones.
Mine weighs 9 kg with the lid
My grandfather had it copper plated and used it for a coal skuttle.
I brought it with me to the uk where I still use it
Nice one now I want to make one!
Do it!
I've had my potjie for 34 years, starting in my Greyton W cape holiday house, moving to New Zealand, where I have to use gas. Heretic! Anyway the base of the potjie is smooth as, as Kiwis say. The smell brings back great memories of fires and friends.
You don't have to use gas in nz. Plenty of wood and charcoal here
Im making the same one on the weekend for my kiwi friends.thanks mate
It is so nice..however it would have been nice to see the final look of the poitjie.
I didn't even realise I cut that out, but you can have a look at it here:

Just noticed your clip. What size pot do you use in the clip?
It's a no 3 pot. It's probably the most common size in SA.
@@chrisdoesstuffza that’s what I have, but yours looked slightly bigger like a # 4 or maybe a # 6.
I know yess but wnne try 🎉🎉🎉🎉
What is the brand name & make of BBQ spice you used?
I use Robertsons BBQ Spice. I also have started chucking in a mixture of soup, stock and flour to thicken up the sauce.
Thank you for taking the time to do a complete walk through of making this lovely dish and share it! Much appreciated. And a quick question if I may. The potjie has this round belly shape, as opposed to a dutch oven. Does make a difference or can potjie recipes also be used for cooking in a dutch oven? I realize this might be sacrilege but dutch ovens are much easier to obtain in The Netherlands ;-)
Thanks for the comment! You can absolutely use this receipe in a Dutch oven, however you may just need a little extra liquid. The reason for the potjies shape is that it's primary purpose is to be used outside over hot coals, hence the legs. The round bottom allows the liquid to gather at the bottom and then boil or steam back up through the ingredients, and then drip back down again. Because of this you need very little liquid. Just use your intuition, you don't want to boil the food, but you also don't want the bottom to be dry and burn. In SA we often use a Dutch oven along side a potjie to bake bread, where you also put hot coals on top of the lid. Just remember, if you are buying a new one, you must make sure to prepare and season the pot properly, and after cooking its very important to clean and store the pot correctly.
Can you use beef for this recipe instead of lamb?
Absolutely! Just make sure you use a cut that won't break down completely in the pot while it cooks.
Thank you for time, I never knew what the lines means 😁
Glad you learnt something!
You did not show us the end result

A potjie is NOT meant to be stirred! That may be a great stew, but its NOT a potjie! Sure you can stir the meat when you braise it but once that is done, you layer it being careful NOT to stir! Believe me, the result will be much better! 40 minutes to 1 hour???? Again, a potjie takes about 4-5 hours to cook as the longer you cook it the more tender the meat! Your explanation of the lines and the cleaning of the pot is spot on sir!
I can't give a thumbs up or subscribe if you're not showing the end result, sorry!
Wow...I'll be trying:)...........those bars covering widows mate??? hope you guys have good fire exit strategy..........and hate to be pedantic....but decking looks like its been laid ridges up which is not really good!!!!......traps dirt and moisture.....just saying:) thanks for content of your video!!
Thanks for the concern, we do indeed have an exit plan. Also, the deck is laid correctly. The ridges are both aesthetic as well as add grip. Dirt is no issue if you clean regularly and moisture is no issue as the timber is treated for outdoor installation and its regularly oiled which adds to the longevity.
@@chrisdoesstuffza good man.. how’s SA these days left 20 years ago miss some aspects to it.. any time you head to Australia give me a shout
It's great here, we have no intention of going anywhere!
@@chrisdoesstuffza Heard otherwise...but you must be optimistic...good on you:)
@pdsdownunder3010 what an Aussie tosser, doesn't even know how decking is laid
Die se ge tydmors om nog te wys hpe groente gesny moet word.
Beste, jij praat veel te vlug en onverstaanbaar, waarom toon je niet de inhoud van je pot, nu zien we jouw gezicht de ganse tijd.
Nee wat, n engelse man kan nie potjie maak nie 😂
