30ml (2T) oil 3 leeks, well rinsed and sliced into rings
-
250g mushrooms, quartered

-
750ml (3c) beef stock

Make a fire with enough coals for potjiekos. If you need a three-legged stand for your potjie, place it over the coals. Make a side fire for extra coals if needed. Keep your pot handy.
1 Cook the sorghum on the stove in a saucepan or pot. Cover the grain with water and boil for 35-40 minutes until cooked, adding more water if necessary. (Sorghum doesn’t get completely soft but stays al dente.) Drain and set aside.
2 Season the meat with salt and pepper then dust with the flour, shaking off any excess.
