+ Onion

This is a very Afrikaans, very versatile, very very good sauce that my father (being from the Free State) always makes with krummelpap (mealiemeal). Oh, but you can have it with sausages and mash, with grilled fish and with sandwiches! Just thinking about it honestly makes my mouth water. We cannot imagine krummelpap or our collection of home recipes without it.

To become part of this legend you need:

Two cans of chopped tomatoes

1 onion

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

How to go about it:

Step 1: Peel and cut the onion in rings.

Step 2: Put the butter and oil in a medium pan and let the butter melt over a low heat. Add the onion and sweat slowly for 8 minutes.

Step 3: Add the tomatoes and let it simmer for 15 minutes, the longer it goes on a very gentle heat, the more intense the flavour will be. Have fun!

Put the oven on 200 degrees C, or the Roast-function, and wash 2 hands full of ripe cherry tomatoes. Put that on a baking pan, toss with some good olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put that in the oven that it heats up a bit, for about 5 min, then take it out add the balsamic vinegar, tossing it around once. Put it back in the oven for 10 min. Now eat it with ciabatta/nice bread and rocket.

*You can also do it in a pan on the stove, same story…
