This is one of the tastiest chicken potjies I've ever made! Thank you Travis Berthold @travisberthold9659 for the challenge to make the popular Latin American, Caribbean dish - the Pollo Guisado in a potjie. We love your feedback and comments. Get ready for a culinary adventure today as we discover the popular Pollo Guisado with South African flare that will leave your mouth watering! For our South African Pollo Guisado, we followed a traditional recipe for this delicious chicken stew, and added capers to go with all the flavours. This is my new favourite chicken potjie by far. I would recommend adding a glass of white wine in the early stages of cooking the stew. The potjie pot or Dutch Oven is a traditional South African way of cooking on a open fire. The longer you cook the dish, the better it gets. We added the traditional braai-bread or roosterkoek to go with this amazing dish. Check out our online store for great prices on potjie pots and accessories at https://outdooreco.com/store/ Pollo Guisado is a flavourful and popular dish in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine. It is a Spanish term that translates to "stewed chicken" in English. The dish's roots can be traced back to the influence of Spanish colonialism, which introduced various ingredients and cooking techniques to the regions they colonized, including the Americas. Over time, as the Spanish settlers interacted with local populations and exchanged culinary practices, the dish evolved to incorporate native herbs, spices, and cooking methods. As a result, the recipe for Pollo Guisado varies from region to region, and even from one household to another, but the essence of the dish remains the same. The common ingredients include chicken (or sometimes other meats), a variety of vegetables like onions, bell peppers, garlic, and tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, oregano, paprika, and bay leaves. Pollo Guisado is often simmered or braised in a flavourful broth or sauce, allowing the ingredients to meld together and create a rich, savoury taste. Some versions of the dish may incorporate ingredients like olives, capers, raisins, or potatoes, adding further depth and complexity to the flavours. Throughout history, Pollo Guisado has become a staple in the culinary traditions of many Latin American and Caribbean countries, including Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and various other Central and South American nations. Each region has adapted the recipe to its own unique tastes and available ingredients, resulting in a diverse array of regional variations. The dish's popularity can be attributed to its delicious taste, ease of preparation, and ability to feed a crowd. Pollo Guisado is often served with rice, beans, plantains, or other side dishes that complement its flavours and make it a hearty and satisfying meal. -- OUTDOOR ADVENTURE, LIFESTYLE & TRAVEL EXPERIENCES -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 👍 Don't forget to like, or share if you enjoyed the video - we appreciate your support.

Oxtail potjie is a traditional South African dish that showcases the country's rich culinary heritage. It is a delicious, comforting, and flavourful meal that is best enjoyed with family and friends around a fire or at a festive gathering. Oxtail is the tail of a cow and is known for its rich and flavourful meat. In this video we are cooking our Oxtail Potjie for the wonderful staff here at Carmel Coastal Retreat, above Victoria Bay, just outside George in the spectacular Garden Route. We love your feedback and questions. Please feel free to comment and feedback on our social media channels. We will be making our downloadable recipes available through our newsletter. Enjoy!

We are visiting the beautiful coastal area of Praia do Xai-Xai in Mozambique, a wonderful experience of the rustic vibrancy that the Mozambique culture offers. Our family is here with local friends, some born here, and will be sharing some of our experience in the next few videos. Mozambique is a fascinating country with beautiful people. We have visited several communities, experiencing the traditional culture, food and agriculture, an incredible opportunity to learn as a family. This video is a scenic overview of one of the beaches near us, known as the Sinkhole. This sinkhole is a dangerous natural feature, as the water channels under the rocks on either side. It sucks and pumps water aggressively, even when the sea is calm, but as long as you keep away from it, it is a stunning place to swim and snorkel. We have been here from late February, so it is hot and humid, but the warm Indian ocean water brings well needed relief.

Dreaming of Visiting Kruger National Park. It's been too long since we've visited Kruger. Time to plan, and take the kids camping in this special place. Enjoy the photo montage video of some old photos. Kruger National Park is a South African natural heritage. The diversity of wildlife, flora, and ecosystems is incredible. It's time to book another trip to this special place. #krugernationalpark #kruger #visitkruger #wildlife -- OUTDOOR ADVENTURE, LIFESTYLE & TRAVEL -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 👍 Like, or share if you enjoyed - we appreciate your support.

This delicious Rainbow Trout Taco recipe with avocado, mushrooms, onion, chillies and lemon is a winner. Inspired by Leif at @NW Fishing Secrets, we decided to make the tacos together for Michael's 13th birthday. Michael and I have been so enjoyed watching the beautiful scenery and fun fishing adventures of Leif from @NW Fishing Secrets . Subscribe to his channel if you haven't already - his fishing adventures are amazing. We couldn't find Danish Sea Salt though :-) Salmon and Rainbow Trout are expensive here in South Africa. Salmon is imported and Rainbow Trout is not easily accessible. We are planning to go do a fishing trip up North in the future - we'll have to give it a try.

The Eastern Cape of South Africa has several Game Reserves well worth visiting in the malaria-free area. This casual footage was taken at Addo Elephant National Park, Shamwari (private reserve) and Kragga Kamma Game Reserve. These are all nearby Port Elizabeth, a great base to visit the parks and reserves from. You can do self-drive game viewing at the public parks, and the private ones can arrange drives with their qualified rangers. There are many more reserves we hope to feature in the near future. On a sad note, rhino poaching has become a daily occurrence in South Africa. Feeding the high demand from the Asian black market, these animals are being slaughtered for their horns. Some killed despite having their horns removed. The Rhino in this video is from old footage from Kragga Kamma Game Park. Sadly a female was shot by poachers a few nights after we had visited this park, despite her horn having been removed. She was nursing a baby rhino, who is now orphaned. 👍Please follow us on Instagram @outdooreco 💙https://www.instagram.com/outdooreco/ 👉You can view our blog at https://outdooreco.com -- OUTDOOR ADVENTURE, LIFESTYLE & TRAVEL -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I use the following affiliate services for music, graphic design and YouTube SEO: Canva :: https://www.canva.com/join/pose-ename...

Our family hiked the Sacramento coastal trail at Schoenmakerskop, in Port Elizabeth. The Sacramento Hiking Trail is an easy to walk coastal trail through the Sardinia Bay Nature Reserve. It is 8 km long and a comfortable 3-hour walk with time to stop and enjoy the views. The trail is a popular activity for a family or group in good weather. Starting at the Sacramento cannon, the trail skirts the coastline, and returns slightly inland, through indigenous coastal dune bush and Fynbos. The area adopts the name Sacramento, after the wreck of a Portuguese galleon, that ran aground there in 1647, called the Sacramento. The cannon, salvaged from the wreck, can be seen at the start of the trail.

Our family finally got to hike the Lower Blindekloof (shorter trail) of the Groendal Nature Reserve, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, just outside Uitenhage. Through a miscommunication, we were expecting to do an 8km hike, that turned out to be 8km to the halfway mark, and 8km back. We cut it short with the kids, hiking just over 12km. Driving to the reserve through the nearby town, you wonder if you are on the right road, with so much trash and litter dumped at the roadside. Persevere though, it's worth it. Several minutes later, we arrived at the reserve entrance and were greeted by really friendly staff. The hike was amazing, walking through fynbos, Eastern Cape bush, forests and along the river. There are some lovely rock pools, although it was a bit cold for us to swim in the winter. We all managed, however, we should have carried more water and supplies, we did not expect to hike this far. We all slept well that night, having enjoyed a wild day in the nature reserve. Please excuse the quality of the footage. I shot this on my cell phone - not ideal in the challenging light. That said, I still managed to get some footage and coverage for you to enjoy!!

In this video we show you how to roast cashew nuts the traditional way in Mozambique on a fire. We have had such fun with this video - exploring the traditional culture and way of life in Mozambique. I have new respect for the cashews we buy back home, seeing how each nut grows on its own fruit and how the nuts can be kept for up to 4 years in with the outer protective casing. My good friend Israel, shows us how to roast them on the fire. When the oil takes, its spectacular. ******************** Caution needs to be exercised if you try this!! This method can cause the nuts outer casing to explode with burning oil flying everywhere. ******************** 👍 Like, or share if you enjoyed this video - we appreciate your support.
