    Snoek with atchar

    35 minutes SERVES 6

    Snoek is an easy-to-please fish, as it brings most of its own natural flavour. This recipe keeps things simple but plays around with adding ingredients to prepared atchar. I used Woolworths’ jalapeño atchar but you could use mango instead.

    Chickpea chakalaka

    30 minutes SERVES Makes about 1 kg

    There are countless variations of chakalaka but my all-time favourite is my mom’s raw salsa-like take on it. The addition of black garlic paste brings a beautiful umami dimension and a touch of acidity that awakens the whole dish. I’m not opposed to baked beans in a chakalaka, but the chickpeas make it heartier. This makes a great shakshuka base the next morning, too.

    Air-fryer roast chicken

    She’s renowned for a multitude of dishes, but Abigail Donnelly's roast chicken has a special number one spot in our hearts (okay, tied first place with her pavlova, of course). She’s recently been playing around with her new favourite appliance – the air-fryer – and reckons that her air-fryer citrus roast chicken recipe might just be better than her classic recipe. We’re shook!
