Chakalaka is a South African vegetable relish,[1] usually spicy, that is traditionally served with bread, pap, samp, stews, or curries. Chakalaka is said[by whom?] to have originated in the townships of Johannesburg or in the gold mines surrounding Johannesburg, when Mozambican mineworkers leaving their shift cooked tinned produce (tomatoes, beans) with chili to produce a spicy Portuguese-style relish to accompany pap. Many variations of Chakalaka exist, depending on region and family tradition. Some versions include beans, cabbage and butternut squash.[2] For example, canned baked beans, canned tomatoes, onion, garlic, and curry paste can be used to make the dish.[3]
It is frequently served at a braai (barbecue) or with a Sunday lunch. It can be served cold or at room temperature.
