A HERITAGE WE CAN BE PROUD OF...

Chakalaka Baked Beans are inspired by the vibrant flavours of South Africa’s beloved relish, chakalaka. Traditionally made with a mix of vegetables, spices, and chilli, chakalaka brings a lively, smoky heat to every bite. By combining this iconic relish with hearty baked beans, the result is a comforting yet bold dish that celebrates South African culinary heritage with a modern twist - perfect as a side, snack, or flavor-packed addition to any meal.
