- 500 g lean beef mince
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed

Method
VETKOEK:
- Combine flour, salt, sugar and yeast and mix well.
- Combine oil and enough lukewarm water, add to flour mixture and mix to a soft dough. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Knock down dough on a lightly floured surface and knead again until smooth. Shape into 10 balls and let rise again for 10 minutes. Flatten slightly with palm of hand.
- Heat oil and deep fry the vetkoek, turning constantly, until golden brown. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
FILLING:
- Heat oil and fry mince until it changes colour. Add onion and garlic and sauté for a few minutes until soft. Add spices and fry for about 1 minute.
- Add potatoes, carrot, Spur Grill Basting Sauce, Spur Peri-Peri Sauce, salt and water. Cover with lid and leave to simmer for about 20 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Thicken with a paste of 15 ml (1 Tbsp) flour and a little water, if required. Remove from heat.
- Cut the vetkoek three-quarters of the way through and fill with the mince. Serve warm.
