In South Africa potjiekos /ˈpɔɪkiːkɒs/ literally translated small pot food is a stew prepared outdoors. It is traditionally cooked in a round cast iron three-legged pot the potjie descended from the Dutch oven brought from the Netherlands to South Africa in the 17th century and found in the homes and villages of people throughout southern Africa. The pot is heated using small amounts of wood or charcoal or if fuel is scarce twisted grass or even dried animal dung.
