Take all the stresses out of season gifting and holiday hosting with a little help from a fiery old-flame, Banhoek Chilli Oil. Besides this being a really great stocking filler (think foodie friends or braai lovers … for an extra kick of love, wrap it with a wooden cutting board, or some zero-waste briquettes). And no-one misses out on the fire and flavour … it’s suitable for Vegan, Halaal and Kosher diets.
It’s also the perfect way to spice up some gingerbread cookies (and is it even Christmas if there aren’t gingerbread cookies?).
Make some of these, keep a batch aside for yourself, and then pop a batch into a glass jar as a gift.
Suitable for Vegan, Halaal and Kosher diets – we guarantee this will soon be your go-to for every dish, packing both fire and flavour!’
