7 Delectable ideas with biltong

There’s more than one way to enjoy your favourite SA snack and we’ve rounded up the best of them. Now, you can have your biltong and eat it… 7 different ways.

1. Take a biltong-and-bacon dip

We’re talking cream cheese. We’re talking biltong powder. We’re talking Dijon mustard and crispy bacon. We’ve stopped talking, now, because we’re a parmesan breadstick-deep into this dip.

Find the biltong-and-bacon dip recipe, here.

2. Popcorn with butter or biltong? Both!

Get fancy with your microwave popcorn by adding grated peanut brittle, a generous sprinkle of biltong powder, and tossing it with butter until everything is coated and ready to be devoured.

3. Nachos with a local biltong twist

There’s nothing standard about these nachos. We’ve added vine tomatoes, Angus sliced biltong plus all the Cheddar cheese. Serve with dollops of crème fraîche or cream cheese, fresh coriander and lime wedges. Yum!

4. Biltong for breakfast

Yes, we can have biltong at any time of the day. This sophisticated boiled egg and almond french toast combo just got a biltong update and we’re wide awake and ready to have it.

5. Cheesy biltong ciabatta

Honestly, this one sells itself. Just add butter, mozzarella and sliced springbok biltong to Woolworths’ mozzarella-and-thyme ciabatta and heat in the oven until golden.

7. Biltong, Parmesan and butter popcorn

We like popcorn, okay? Toss 50 g finely grated Parmesan with a warm bag of butter-flavoured microwave popcorn and 50 g original free-range game biltong sprinkle. Add a sprinkle of paprika or chilli flakes if you like a good kick.
