Luxury halaal dining spots are slowly on the rise,

Luxury halaal dining spots are slowly on the rise, even more so in Johannesburg than in Cape Town or Durban. This could be due to greater demand but also due to higher spending power in the City of Gold. Luxury restaurants come at luxury prices and a great many of the Joburg Muslim community are no strangers to the luxury life.
Even the East Rand, which is low-key snubbed as the country cousin, has been abuzz and rapidly growing it’s contingent of halaal eateries. They now sport their own luxury eatery in the form of Alta Gracia Restaurant.

Located at Atlas Junction on the border of Boksburg and Benoni, Alta Gracia offers elevated dining in a sophisticated setting. The setting is a throwback to 1930’s lounge decor. A cross between old world style and modern finishes. Slick marble tabletops contast with plush floral printed upholstered dining chairs and modern lighting. The waiters are outfitted in dapper pinstripes with waistcoats, complete with bowler hats. You feel a bit like you’re in a mobster movie, which is great for a bit of escapism from the daily grind.

When Zulfi returned from his work trip to Morocco

When Zulfi returned from his work trip to Morocco a few months ago, he was gifted with the most spectacular authentic Harissa paste. The smokey and spicy flavour is not everyone’s cup of tea but I’ve used it in various dishes and it’s always been a hit.

I wasn’t sure it would work with fish as the flavours might be too intense but my fears were unfounded and used sparingly with this coconut cream sauce it paired very well resulting in delicious and balanced flavours. This is an easy meal ideal for a week night dinner or even when you want to do something special.

Harissa Grilled Fish with Coconut Coriander Cream Sauce
Fish

500g Fillets of Basa fish or Hake
1 Tbsp Harissa paste
2 Tbsp (approx) Olive Oil for drizzling
Salt and cracked Black Pepper
1/2 cup Cake Flour
2 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp olive oil for frying

Wash and pat dry the fish with paper towels.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
Smear the harissa paste over the fillets.
Lightly coat with flour on both sides.
Melt butter and olive oil on medium heat.
Add fish and allow to fry undisturbed for about 5 minutes. Turn and fry the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. If your fillets are thick allow for slightly longer cooking times.
Remove and drain on paper towels.

Coconut Coriander Cream Sauce

1/2 cup of Coconut milk
1 tsp flour
1 Tbsp butter
1 clove garlic crushed
handful chopped fresh coriander leaves
Pinch of salt

Melt butter on low heat. Add garlic and cook briefly for a minute without letting it brown.
Add flour and cook the roux for 2 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and stir quickly or use a whisk to prevent lumps.
Add coriander and season with salt.
Pour over the fish just before serving.

Oops...We missed Koesister Day on Sunday! Life hap

Oops...We missed Koesister Day on Sunday! Life happened but none the less here is a recipe that is so easy you won’t want to order your Sunday koesisters any more.

Mix the dough at night. It takes 10 minutes. And the next morning it will take you less than an hour to have the fluffiest, freshest, warm nuggets of deliciousness for breakfast.

Koesisters
Ingredients:
1 cup Sugar
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Oil
1 kg Flour
2.5 tsp Ginger
2.5 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
3 tsp Naartjie peel
2 tsp Aniseed
1 Egg
125g Mashed Potato
1tblsp Butter
3 cups Water – Lukewarm
1pkt Instant yeast

Syrup:
3 cups Sugar (to 2 cups water)
2 teaspoon rose water
Few elachi/cardamom and cinnamon sticks
_______
Method:
Mix 1/3 sugar with mashed potato and butter. Blend till smooth. Add Egg
Mix 2/3 of the Sugar, salt and oil
Add water
Add yeast, flour and other dry ingredients
Make a soft dough
Cover and allow to rise overnight

Next morning, punch dough down lightly. Use oiled hands to make balls onto a floured surface. Cover and allow to rise for half an hour. Lightly pull into an oval shape and fry in deep oil.

Boil syrup ingredients together till it’s slightly thick and can coat a spoon. Keep warm on stove. Drop hot koeksisters in and remove to plate. Sprinkle to your hearts desire with dessicated coconut. Bask in the love and adoration of your loved ones.

Makes about 45. Freezes well before syruping. I left out the potato and naartjie peel and it was still the best ever.

Boyes Drive is one of the most scenic drives in Cape Town. The road between Hout Bay and Muizenberg is a visual feast of rolling ocean, majestic mountains and lush greenery. We never miss an opportunity to take long drives whenever we are there and this June holidays was no exception.

What’s your favourite drive in CT? There’s so many. Would love to know if I’m missing any.

Peri Peri Braai Chicken – the quick version. Thi

Peri Peri Braai Chicken – the quick version.
This braai chicken recipe is designed to speed up the process of getting your food to the table. Chicken takes a bit long to braai so I use my @instantpotsa to pre-cook and then it only takes about 10 to 15 minutes on the coals.

Ingredients:
4 chicken quarters, well rinsed and drained
1 tsp crushed garlic
juice of half a lemon
2 heaped Tbsp plain yoghurt
2 heaped Tbsp mayonaise
4 Tbsp peri peri sauce of your choice
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt

Method:
Make 2 or 3 slits in each chicken quarter so the marinade can penetrate.
Mix all marinade ingredients and coat the chicken pieces.
Leave to marinate for an hour or 2. Longer if possible.

You can put this directly on your braai but steaming it in the Instant Pot is always a bonus.

Put your trivet in your instant pot. Add about a cup of water. Water must be just under the trivet.
Pack your chicken pieces on to the trivet.
Close the lid and set to 6 minutes on Pressure Cook. Allow for natural pressure release before removing and put it on the braai for about 10 minutes. Brush with leftover marinade while braaing.
Serve hot with crusty bread and salads.

The shortage of Old Age homes in the Muslim commun

The shortage of Old Age homes in the Muslim community in South Africa has become an increasingly pressing issue. The cultural and religious emphasis on providing familial care for elderly parents is deeply ingrained within the Muslim tradition, making the decision to turn to Old Age homes a sensitive topic. However, as societal structures shift, there is a growing need for facilities that can accommodate our religious and cultural needs while maintaining dignity and respect.

I had the opportunity to visit the Benoni Muslim Care Centre, which was established just a few years ago. Chatting with the management team gave me a deep insight into what it takes to care for elders in an environment like this. A walk through of the facilities revealed a tranquil well run home in a serene environment.

Not all facilities are as well run as this one which emphasises the deep need to support the establishment of more facilities like these. Please read my full article and how we can go about Balancing Tradition with Modern Realities. Link in bio
