For most South Africans, Sundays mean one thing: seven colours, and a table brimming with vibrant, comforting dishes that reflect our rich food culture. But while the tradition of seven colours is beloved, it can be time-consuming to prepare. That’s where Woolworths steps in, making it easier than ever to enjoy these classic sides without all the effort.
Introducing Woolworths’ new range of sides inspired by classic South African dishes. They’ve taken the hard work out of making your favourites – no peeling, chopping, or hours spent in front of the stove – so you can focus on what matters most: spending time with your loved ones.
Isijingi: This comforting dish combines pap with the sweet, earthy flavour of pumpkin. Isijingi is traditionally enjoyed as a side dish – or you can add a sprinkle of sugar and a knob of butter to enjoy it at breakfast.
Creamy samp: Known for its rich, comforting texture, creamy samp forms the base of many hearty stews. Serve as a side or main.
Umfino: A mix of maize meal and wild greens (typically spinach and other leafy vegetables), umfino is a South African staple. It works as a side to any meal – and now, thanks to Woolworths, it’s ready to serve in minutes.
Curried samp and beans: A twist on a classic, this version of samp and beans is spiced up with a hint of curry. The flavours are perfectly balanced, offering comfort with a bit of a kick.
Sunday veg: A mix of chakalaka, butternut and spinach, this side puts together everyone’s favourite veg. For an easy weeknight dinner, serve with pap, boerewors and tomato gravy.
