Cape Malay Curry Mince
Cape Malay Curry Mince is a great example of South Africa’s remarkably diverse cuisine, as befits a country of its size and scope. One of South Africa’s oldest population groups are known as the Cape Malay, originally comprised of peoples brought from various parts of the East Indies to the Cape Colony by the Dutch East India Company in the 17th century, as slaves and indentured servants. With historical cultural references tracing back to Indonesia, China, India and other parts of southeast and southern Asia combined with food stuffs native to South Africa, Cape Malay cuisine is particularly memorable, ranging from starters through to desserts. Savory and sweet elements are often combined in many of its recipes. South African Cape Malay Curry Mince is in its simplest essence a ground beef curry; however, its subtle mix of seasonings will beguile you and make it so much more. Start with Sicilian Orange Salad for an unusual but great meal. Try it and enjoy!
