This dish’s got a bit of a history….Way back when we didn’t have DSTV or anything, there was a programme called “maak a las” on local TV. A well know athlete from the ’80’s was one of the presenters and did this on a open fire, potjie kos. I had to watch the program twice to actually write down the recipe, way before the days of recording any TV shows.
