For you Skip for that big Potjie Pot.  This is from the Congo Cook Book.  

Would be a fitting meal to make in it.  ::)

What you need

   * one-half pound of biltong, or dried or smoked meat like beef jerky the original recipe mentions elephant meat coated with salt and honey and dried in the sun)
   * six to eight cups of beef broth or beef stock
   * one cup of mirepoix [diced carrots, onions, celery and herbs sautéed in butter] (optional)
   * two onions, finely chopped
   * one cup shelled, roasted peanuts (or one-half cup peanut butter)
   * one cup boiled chana dal (or any lentils or dried peas)
   * one small leek, finely chopped
   * one cup of Wumubu mushrooms (or any kind of mushrooms), (the original recipe says that Wumubu are "a type of black African mushroom")
   * two tablespoons of butter
   * salt, black pepper (to taste)
   * one-half cup cream

What you do

   * Wash the biltong or dried meat in hot water, and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
   * In a large pot or dutch oven, combine the meat with enough cold water to cover it, and cook over a low heat for twenty to thirty minutes.
   * Add the mirepoix and beef broth and simmer for two hours.
   * Add the onions, peanuts, and dal (lentils), mushrooms, and leek. Cook until the dal are completely disintegrated.
   * Adjust the seasoning. Add the butter and cream.

Yeah (do I dare say it) Mr. Sparkle, I reckon that would be a super feed in my Potjie. I made a Biltong Box a while ago and regularly make Biltong when the taste buds demand it. I will post a few happy snaps tonight as it's easy to make and very moreish. :)

All the best
