Bokkom butter

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the flatbread:

250 g self-raising flour
1 cup double-thick plain yoghurt
salt, to taste
olive oil, for brushing

For the bokkom butter:

2 bokkom fillets, roughly chopped
150 g butter

Method

1. To make the flatbread, combine the flour, yoghurt and salt until a thick dough has formed. Do not overmix. Portion into 4 evenly sized balls, then roll out to a thickness of ½ cm.

2. Brush with olive oil and braai over medium coals until cooked through; about 5 minutes per side.

3. Meanwhile, combine the bokkoms and butter in a cast-iron pan and simmer on the braai until the butter is foamy.

4. Serve the flatbreads with the warm bokkom butter.
