Curry Beans Atjar

Curry Beans, my mouth is already watering. This is a personal favourite.

In South Africa we make different types of Atjars. This one I love. Since tomorrow is National Braai Day in South Africa, this is one side dish that will be served. It is scrumptious with braaivleis.


Ingredients:
2 kg Cut Beans into 2.5 cm pieces
500 g Cut Carrots into 2.5 cm pieces
25 ml Turmeric
25 ml Mild Curry Powder
50 ml Maizena Corn Flour
25 ml Mustard Powder
500 g Chopped Onions
420 g Preserved Sliced Peaches
750 ml Sugar
1.2 l White Grape Vinegar
10 ml Salt


Method:
Boil the onions and beans in lightly salted water until done but crisp. Drain it.
Heat the remaining ingredients in a large pot.
Stir the mixture until the sugar has dissolved.
Simmer until thick and done.
Spoon it into sterilised glass jars.
Seal tightly.
Store in a cool, dark place.

Refrigerate after opening a jar.

Serving Suggestion:
Absolutely fantastic as a side dish with some braaivleis and even on toast, or whatever you fancy.
Enjoy :-)
