Home cooking attempt — Biltong from scratch
I spent an afternoon making Biltong from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting chakalaka relish right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The sweet-tangy from chutney result was rewarding once I got it right.
the braai is a cross-cultural South African institution that transcends racial and social divides. I served it with Amarula cream liqueur as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Biltong yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
