Amagwinya [Vetkoek] with Spiced Boerewors Mince

Amagwinya, also known as Vetkoek, is a delicious South African treat that is loved by many. It is a deep-fried dough bread that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It can be enjoyed on its own or filled with a variety of fillings. One popular filling is spiced boerewors mince, which adds a flavorful twist to this traditional favorite.

To make Amagwinya with Spiced Boerewors Mince, you will need the following ingredients:

Ingredients:

• For the Amagwinya:
• • 500g cake flour
• • 10g instant yeast
• • 5ml sugar
• • 5ml salt
• • 250ml lukewarm water
• • oil for frying
• For the Spiced Boerewors Mince:
• • 500g boerewors
• • 1 onion, finely chopped
• • 2 cloves garlic, minced
• • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• • 1 teaspoon paprika
• • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
• • salt and pepper to taste
• • fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the Amagwinya dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add the lukewarm water gradually to the dry ingredients, mixing as you go. Knead the dough until it becomes soft and elastic.
3. Once the dough is smooth, cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
4. While the dough is rising, prepare the spiced boerewors mince filling. Remove the boerewors from its casing and crumble it into a frying pan.
5. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and cook until the onions are soft and translucent. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute, allowing the spices to infuse the mince.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove any air bubbles. Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
7. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot. Fry the dough balls in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
8. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit into each Amagwinya, creating a pocket for the filling.
9. Spoon the spiced boerewors mince into the pockets of the Amagwinya. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
