Skilpadjies

[MickeyBlue42]

Any fans here for skilpadjies? The cholesterol atomic bombs from the farm.

I had them for the first time on new years eve in Wakkerstroom last year.

They are addictive !

[MariusT]

Love the stuff. My wife says I love them maybe a little too much.

[Andre]

I also love them but not with minced liver.

[Apocalypse]

love them.

so much you can do with them.

Braaied (it's obscene that I must mention that braaing is done on WOOD) in a soft bun with decent coleslaw .. oh man.

The place down the road does them BRAAIED (on wood) with a creamy wine sauce.

A skilpaddtjie is possibly the only thing that is more south African than an idiot politician!

Mmmmm
Lekker!!

We have skilpaaidtjies on the braai (wood) atleast once per week. Get ours from Schoemansville Butchery in Hartbeespoort.

Thanks Carl!

I often go back to Gabs via Harties. Im going to have to pick up some from there if you recommending

[DLP]

If you guys ever drive through Piet Retief, do yourself a favor and buy skilpaatjies at Frik se slaghuis. The best ever.

braaied on a fairly warm fire with lots of pure lemon juice.

I almost fainted yesterday when on a routine visit to the corner shop/ bakery/ butchery I saw skilpadjies in the display fridge- I bought two trays immediately and phoned the blonde to tell her the mince can go back in the deep freeze, I had just bought supper

[Ren]

Buy them at my local butcher. Had some this weekend

[ThysleRoux]

I also love them but not with minced liver.

Agreed - it should be cut into blocks of about 10mm square - minced it just turns mushy. YUMMMMMM

Just love 'em, kids used to pull up their lips when I made liver....

.....not anymore

[vossie1]

Ag no man !!!! and there i thought i knew it was going to be chicken kebabs on the Weber Q1200 tonight I just caught myself searching for a good butcher to buy skilpadjies now i am forced to make a fire tonight. Love the stuff. Appoc love the idea of a fresh bun with trimmings.

[Flee]

Nee Man!!!! nou water my grill..

[MickeyBlue42]

Besides my heathen spelling...

Are there any variants as far as the recipe goes or is it quite a plain delicacy?

Need to try and find some here. Might have to hit Ghanzi!

[out of africa]

Does anyone have a decent recipe?

I love Skilpadjies but find most of them mince the organs, which I don't really like. I also want to make it using venison liver and kidneys.

[lekhubu943]

Oh yes! Braaied long and slow on cool wood coals until all the fat is cooked out and crispy.

My mom used to make them, coarse minced liver, coriander, salt and pepper.

Unfotunately I cannot eat liver anymore

[Jeepanator]

My uncle made the best I have ever had. He had the butchery in Lydenburg Bokkie se Vleis Mark. Sadly he passed away 2 month ago.

[Geelvis]

Also love the stuff but the cholestrol is a killer

BRM in Laser Park make amazing skilpadjies!
