Just like bobotie or Durban curry, trinchado is a hot and spicy dish that has become incredibly popular in South Africa. It has been embraced by people all over the country and has gained a lot of popularity in the past 60 years. The dish spread quickly thanks to Afro-Portuguese immigrants from neighboring countries and political refugees from Mozambique.

Trinchado has become a staple in South African cuisine and is known for its unique taste. While there are many variations of the dish, it always includes Worcestershire sauce and is usually served with black olives as a condiment. What sets trinchado apart is how easy it is to make and how affordable the ingredients are.

You can enjoy it with red wine, port, or sherry, pair it with bread or pasta, or savor it on its own. It’s a tapas-style fry-up that will impress your guests and keep them coming back for more.

This version of Trinchado using Lamb Rump takes the dish to another level. By using locally sourced and grown ingredients, it honors our culinary traditions and celebrates the flavors of South Africa. It’s a dish that tells a story – a story of a place and time that will resonate with diners and partygoers across the country.

Cooking Up a Storm in Prince Albert

When you’re looking for a place to explore and discover delicious food, I recommend starting with De Keine Prince. It’s a fantastic foodie destination nestled in the charming village of Prince Albert, and I recently had the pleasure of visiting with a few friends.

During my visit, I took a leisurely stroll through the town, eager to uncover its culinary treasures. And at the top of my list was Gay’s Guernsey Dairy, a family-owned business that has been delighting locals since the early nineties. The cream they produce is unlike anything you’ve ever tasted – thick, rich, and with a natural custard-like flavor that will transport your taste buds to heaven.

Continuing down Church Street, I came across the Karoo Slaghuis, an inviting butcher shop with a blushing facade. As I entered, I was greeted by Albert, the knowledgeable local butcher who shares a name with the town. Albert’s expertise in selecting the perfect cut of lamb for my recipe was invaluable, and he even invited me into his chilling room to see and feel the quality of the meat for myself. We had a lively discussion and exchanged culinary philosophies, eventually settling on the middle of the leg of lamb – the rump – as the ideal choice for my cooking method.

At The Keine Prince, Adrian Lombard provides everything you need for a memorable experience. As the mastermind designer, he creates a space that not only inspires content and media creation, but also offers a beautifully curated installation for your stay and entertainment.

Imagine a wall filled with a wide range of spices, including rough ground paprika, sourced from far and wide. The brandy here is made from grapes grown locally, giving it a unique and authentic flavor. And the black olives come from a Karoo orchard, adding a touch of freshness to any dish.

As you explore this culinary paradise, you’ll also find pepper and dried bayleaf, which are obviously from a noble tree nearby. Adrian’s home in the Karoo is a dream come true for any cook or food enthusiast.

No matter what you’re looking to create in the kitchen, The Keine Prince has everything you need. From the finest ingredients to the most inspiring environment, Adrian has thought of it all. Come and experience this double-edged sword of a space – a place to elevate your culinary skills and regenerate your passion for food.

When it comes to cooking, the lamb rump takes longer to prepare than the traditional beef Trinchado. But this extra time is worth it because it allows the fruitiness in the brandy to blend with the paprika flakes and create a rich and creamy dish. The flavors of the dish are further enhanced by the contrasting spiciness of the chili and the earthiness of the bay leaf. However, it is the olives that truly bring everything together. With their unctuous sweet tartness, they make all the other ingredients sing in perfect harmony.

Every bite of Trinchado is a burst of flavors. You’ll experience the bitterness of the fruit, the warmth of the sun-kissed pepper, the spiciness of the chili, and the creaminess of the butter. To fully enjoy these flavors, it’s essential to have a good piece of bread to soak up every last bit of the delicious, creamy, sweet, grassy, and spicy sauce that makes Trinchado so iconic in South African cuisine.
