https://foodloversmarket.co.za/recipes/beef-potjie-cauli-rice/
Potjie season is here, but for some – the potjie pot and fire is a difficult option on a regular weeknight, so we’ve made a potjie (stew) in a pressure cooker. It onl need 1.5 hours to cook. Usually, a potjie is served with rice, but we’ve kept it low-carb with a cauli-rice or mash and topped with a refreshing herb dressing.
