FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Matjiesfontein is a culinary adventure for all the sense. It is where good food and good company meet, making new memories. We got the inside scoop from Head Chef, Craig, on some exciting things to look forward to for the festive season ahead!

Refresh your taste buds this summer

We look forward to welcoming our guests, whilst beating the heat with a cool and delicious Watermelon and Blackberry Sangria.

You can join us at home by making your own this festive season! Here’s what you will need;

Ingredients:

·       1 bottle (750ml) rosé wine (or a non-alcoholic alternative), chilled

·       ¼ cup Watermelon schnapps liqueur or non-alcoholic Watermelon cordial

·       1 – ½ cups cubed seedless fresh Watermelon ( ½ inch sized cubes)

·       1 medium lime, thinly sliced

Chef Craig’s new favourite versatile Karoo food item

“A new menu item that will be coming to our menu soon, which is both versatile and flavoursome, is ostrich. It can be used in salads, main dishes, on its own with sides or even dried!”
