THE FRIKKADEL RECIPE BY RAWIYAH

Rawiyah is my pen name, and I am a Humanitarian who wants to see the world and learn new languages. I am currently buying inner peace at the cost of love, smiles and small sacrifices…

Since I was invited to do a guest post (let us consider it a forthcoming attraction for now... : it’s a web threaded together with all the flavours and foods of the cooks of the world, and I am quite pleased to be a part of this/ …Rawiyah

THE CAPE MALAYS OF SOUTH  AFRICA
The Cape Malays are an ethnic group in South Africa, whose ancestry is mostly Malaysian, Indonesian, Dutch, English (and a host of many other nationalities). Their cooking is inspired by Dutch (or Afrikaner) cooking, but the recipes have been altered to the extent that they often taste and look completely different. They are Muslims, and so all their food is halaal/ kosher.

The Cape Malay Frikkadel is much like the Malaysian Begedil (see a picture of it on Balqis’s blog here http://lilstarrz09.blogspot.com/2011/05/yummy-licious.html), except it’s made from steak mince and not beef. Sometimes Frikkadel is made with fish, using either Tuna, Hake, Salmon, or Snoek (a large fish that is indigenous to Cape Town). ... Rawiyah


Frikkadel is either oven-baked or fried (the baked one is usually spicier).
