South African Samp And Mutton Recipe

If there’s one dish I recall eating often on cold days as a kid, and still love as an adult, it would have to be samp and mutton. I know there are tons of recipes that use samp and beans, but growing up, my family made a mutton curry and boiled samp and beans, then mixed everything together.

I can eat bowls of samp and mutton, and it’s certainly a favourite to make and indulge in.

I owe this one to my childhood, and I look forward to sharing it with you. I hope you enjoy making my samp and mutton recipe.

METHOD

  1. Start by heating a pot and adding the diced onions, curry leaves, sliced chillies, ginger, and garlic. Also, add all the whole spices (bay leaf, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, and elachi).
  2. Cook the ingredients until the onions become translucent and the aromatic fragrance of the spices fills the air.
  3. Add the ground spices to the pot and allow them to cook for a couple of minutes, enhancing their flavors.
  4. Introduce the grated tomatoes to the pot and cover it. Let it cook until you notice oil surfacing from the tomatoes.
  5. Now, add the lamb or mutton to the pot and mix it well with the other ingredients.
  6. Incorporate the mint and thyme into the mixture and give it a good stir.
  7. Season the dish with salt to taste and add the stock cube.
  8. Pour in the hot water and allow the curry to cook. Keep an eye on it occasionally to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
  9. When the curry is nearly done, introduce the cooked samp and beans to the pot, allowing them to cook together with the curry.
  10. Once the dish is ready, garnish it with fresh coriander.
