Method
- For the chakalaka, heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, chilies and the curry powder and stir to combine.
- Add the peppers and cook for 2 minutes. Add the carrots and beans and stir to make sure they are well combined with the other ingredients and coated in the curry powder. Stir in chicken stock cubes.
- Cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the baked beans. Set aside until needed.
- To make the stiff braai pap, pour maize meal into salted boiling water and stir quickly. Cook over low heat for 25 minutes, stirring often to a stiff pap consistency.
- For the chops, rub with oil and chopped rosemary. Braai over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side. Braai the corn until slightly charred.
- Serve the chops with pap, corn and chakalaka and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
