FOR SAUCE
With such a long cooking time, it’s important to layer your ingredients. The meat, which needs the longest cooking time, should lie at the bottom of the pot, closest to the coals. Your vegetables should be layered above that, with the softest ones at the top.
The secret to a flavoursome potjie is the time it takes to cook, which allows the flavours to mature. So, make sure you keep your coals alive, but small. If the pot gets too hot underneath it will burn the food.
Never stir your potjie. The slow stewing action of potjie means no stirring is required - just let those delicious flavours stew up to perfection.
