Former Miss SA adores shisa nyama
Thato Mosehle still had her eyes on the Miss SA crown when she cooked lamb chops with pap and chakalaka for us. That year she went on to win the title but in her heart she is still the little girl who grew up in Stilfontein and likes pap en vleis. This is her recipe.
This meal takes me about 40 mins to make.

Lamb Chops:

• Once almost done, add Jimmy's steak house sauce (to cover all pieces) and then turn to low heat and allow to simmer for 5 mins • Serve!
Pap: Pap is pap. - I make mine by boiling water then adding it to a hot pot, mixing the pap in until it's the texture of a very thick porridge. Then I stir it about every 8-10 mins over a 30-40 min period.
