Treat yourself to a flavourful fusion with this spicy seshebo paired with roasted butternut, a perfectly poached egg, and soft tacos.
This recipe combines the rich, slow-cooked essence of seshebo—a beloved South African stew—with the sweet earthiness of roasted butternut. A delicate poached egg adds a luscious finish, while soft tacos offer a warm, pillowy base to scoop up every last bite. Perfect as a delicious brunch or dinner meal. Leftover roast veggies can be used in place of the butternut. A tin of kidney beans or chickpeas can be added to the sauce to stretch the meal further.
