Steak Tartare Provencal with French Fries and Salad
I discovered this popular recipe in Belgium. Unlike the tartar steak as we usually serve it in Prague, this one is mixed neither with the egg yolk, paprika, nor the raw onion. The main difference is the side dish: the French fries and salad go with this light and fresh tartare steak much better than the usual garlic toasts and a beer. This variation matches very well with the young and fruity Phant Shiraz. We'll need:
150 gr. Sirloin (or entrecôte) 1 cl Olive oil 5 gr. Cornichon 5 gr. Capers 5 gr. Shallot 3 gr. Fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, basil) 5 gr. Parmesan 1 spoonful Worchester, tabasco, Dijon mustard, ketchup, mayonese, milled black pepper, salt
Mince the cornichons, capers, shallot, herbs and parmesan. Mix the ground meat with all the ingredients. Season with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Fry the French fries and flavour the salad. Serve immediately. Tip: Experiment with the tabasco for some more spicy tones or with the capers to make the steak a bit sourer. A little extra olive oil will leave a silky tone in the mouth. Bon apetit…

Naartjie & lime fish cubes with ginger
Pickled fish, usually snoek, is a local speciality. Although originally prepared for Dutch sailors on their long ocean voyages, it's still a favourite in the Cape. Traditional pickled fish is made using a gently spiced, sweet and savoury pickling liquid.
