Putting a fine-dining twist on authentic Botswanan food
Botswanan chef Thero Ramatebele puts a fine-dining spin on three traditional dishes for 'Breakfast with Martin Bester's' 'Taste of Global'.
Welcome to 'Taste of Global,' an eight-week culinary journey that brings global cuisine to the Jacaranda FM studio and your airwaves – brought to you by FNB Private.
Every week, from 24 February, Monday to Thursday, 'Breakfast with Martin Bester' will explore the flavours, traditions, and stories behind the most iconic dishes from eight featured countries.
Taste of Global: Experience tastes from around the world
As 'Taste of Global' nears its end, the 'Breakfast with Martin Bester' team travelled to South Africa’s neighbouring country, Botswana, to explore the local cuisine.
We visited chef Thero Ramatebele from the Chefs Training & Innovation Academy (CTIA) to learn more about authentic Botswanan dishes.
Ramatebele prepared three well-known traditional dishes, each with his unique fine-dining twist.
Here’s what he made:
Ox tongue (loleme) with balsamic reduction, chakalaka aioli, and pistachio nuts
Sorghum (mosutlhwane) salad with peppers and a vinaigrette
Chicken hardbody (koko ya Setswana) with pap crackling, chakalaka aioli, and tongue
