Chakalaka

Full product description

Spicy, tangy and full of colour, chakalaka is a South African relish made with tomatoes, peppers, onions and warming spices. It’s brilliant hot or cold—serve alongside grilled meats, pile onto boerie rolls, spoon over pap or rice, or use as a lively side for braais and weeknight dinners. Comforting, zesty and properly moreish.

Why you’ll love it

Product details

How to serve
