Chakalaka Relish (a/ka chilli and carrot relish)

[Jitterbug]

A delicious relish with the true taste of Africa.  Serve with barbecued meat or as a filing for pies or a sandwich.  Don't think it preserves that well but then I have never had it for long....

Recipe:

2 big onions (sliced), 250ml oil, 1 green pepper (chopped), 6 green chillies (chopped), 20ml curry powder, 20 carrots (grated), 15ml chicken stock powder, 5ml white pepper, 2 tins bake beans.

Method:

In a heavy based pot, heat 100ml of the oil.  Fry onions for 10 minutes the add green pepper, chillies and curry powder.  Fry for 5 minutes. (For a hotter taste add more chillies).  Add carrots and sprinkle with stock powder, pepper and add the remainder of the oil.  Fry until carrots are tender, stirring frequently.  (it takes a lot of oil as the carrots absorbs oil.)  Taste for seasoning.  Set aside to cool.  Add baked beans and mix well.  Serves 8 - 10.

I also have a recipe for curried carrots if anyone wants it just let me know and I'll post it.  Enjoy
