One of my favourite potjie's to cook at the moment is a Garlic Chicken potjie. It's very easy to make and the end result is delicious!
Basic ingredients:
1 whole chicken
loads of unpeeled garlic cloves, 20 - 40
olive oil
mixed herbs
some sea salt (any salt will do really)
some ground black pepper
some lemon juice
some dry white wine, about 100ml & same amount of water
Method:
Chuck the garlic, olive oil and spices in your potjie then throw the whole chicken in there too. Next, make sure the chicken is coated with the oil and spices. Put the rest of the ingredients in the pot. Put some foil over the top of the pot, put the lid on and cook slowly for 3 or 4 hours by which time the chicken is falling off the bone. Serve in a bowl with some fresh crusty bread on the side.
