Thanks for the recipe WRM
Link broken :( I really need some potjie tips for a couple meals in the Kgalagadi.
Foe a really lean venison I'd suggest adding some fat or another meat with fat. Render it first.
Potjie is an old bull vs young bull game.
Fry onions. Remove onions.
Brown meat. (you may want to starch).
Stack your veg and have the best stock you have time for.
Made a size 4 pot once with impala that I had in buttermilk for 1.5 days ahead of time (in a back leg quarter) and 7 okes polished it.
Please don't put coca cola in your pot!
Holy Necropost!!!!
Ideally you want to layer and not stir. You will use a spoon but that'll just be to lift meat off the bottom so it does not stick. MeatSmall whole onions (and what you browned) CarrotPotatoes (cut or baby) PumkinMushroomsVeg like marrows etc on top. You can always add more stock but difficult to thicken once your whole pot is going. Time will be dependant on the meat you use. Brown and cook long enough before adding veg. I also add veg layer by layer. Have your fire on the side and add bit by bit. You don't want to rush. Realistically you are looking at 4 hrs plus for a decent size pot with red meat.
Played around with the link and found this
