Variations, Hints and Tips
- Replace the biltong with 100 g cooked, chopped bacon.
- Make the Paptert the day before and leave in the refrigerator.
- Did you know McCain Spinach contains iron which is necessary for healthy blood cells- Maize meal is fortified with vitamin B and is high in energy.
- When spreading the pap; wrap a dessert spoon in plastic wrap to prevent the pap from sticking to the spoon.
