Bunny Chow – deliciously tasty South African Street food with made with aromatic spices, meat, chickpeas and potatoes served in hollow bread. A one-of-a-kind sandwich!
With winter in full swing, you can’t have enough comforting meals in your arsenal. I mean, think about it, why would want to make the same thing over and over again? That’s why you have me. This it’s an absolutely perfect comfort food and you will not stop eating it. Again another favorite with hubby, he ate it for lunch, dinner and breakfast, until it was all gone. Forgot about everyone else – not good. You will not come across a “sandwich” like this! Yes, indeed! Bunny Chow is a very unique, portable and popular South African street food that exemplifies the natural fusion of South African Cuisine. A highly spiced curry that will get any spice lover excited, my kind of peeps!
Rest assured no bunnies are involved in this dish. It’s usually made with some sort of protein; Lamb, chicken or vegetables and oh so delicious! Served in a hollowed out bread bowl, makes it even more appealing for carb lovers. Okay, the term bunny is another variation from the word “Bania“, an Indian class of traders who sold this tasty street food.
Don’t let the ingredients list scare, it’s simple and straight food and is no more complicated than making any stew. The only hard pressed decision is what to what meat to use. Or you can leave the meat for the carnivores and make it totally vegetarian or vegan if that’s your thing. Be sure to grab some bread from your neighborhood bakery and you are good to go. Or serve it a non-traditional way with rice and some vegetables
Enjoy!!!!
