They may be ever so graceful on the ramp contesting for the crown but they are just as at home in the kitchen preparing a good, hearty meal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When completing their entry forms and compiling their biographies, some of the top 30 contestants vying for the title of Miss South Africa 2024, indicated their love for cooking.<\/p>\n

The response was enthusiastic, and the recipes ranged from croissants to chicken feet, pasta, curries and chocolate cakes.<\/p>\n

Among those were Layla Zoubair from Kempton Park and Madri van Jaarsveld from Boksburg. We contacted them and asked them to share a favourite recipe and a photo of themselves.<\/p>\n

Here they are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Layla Zoubair\u2019s Manakish<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile lasagna is my favourite dish to make and pap and stew is my go-to meal, I also love making manakish because it is easy and delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n

5 tablespoons za\u2019atar<\/p>\n

7 tablespoons olive oil (divided)<\/p>\n

10g instant yeast<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon sugar<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

150ml milk<\/p>\n

2 cups water<\/p>\n

5 cups flour<\/p>\n

1 egg<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Preheat the oven to 190\u00b0C. Warm the milk. Mix with yeast and sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.<\/p>\n

Combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and egg. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.<\/p>\n

Mix za\u2019atar with 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Punch down dough, divide, and flatten. Spread za\u2019atar mixture on each piece. Fold or leave open with za\u2019atar on top.<\/p>\n

Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Chef\u2019s note: You can serve manakish as part of a healthy breakfast spread alongside homemade labneh and fresh vegetables like tomatoes, olives, cucumber and mint. Manakish can also be topped with cheese or cooked mince.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Madri van Jaarsveld\u2019s<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Marry Me Chicken<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u201cI love cooking and I try new recipes every week. I often get my recipes on social media and this one is always a hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

    3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided<\/p>\n

    500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts<\/p>\n

    Sea salt<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n

    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped<\/p>\n

    Handful of fresh thyme leaves<\/p>\n

    1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes<\/p>\n

    200ml chicken broth<\/p>\n

    30g chopped sun-dried tomatoes<\/p>\n

    125 ml cream<\/p>\n

    25g finely grated Parmesan<\/p>\n

    Torn fresh basil leaves, for serving<\/p>\n

    Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Preheat oven to 190\u00b0C. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high, heat<\/p>\n

    1 tablespoon oil. Generously season chicken with salt and black pepper and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.<\/p>\n

    In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.<\/p>\n

    Stir in garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.<\/p>\n

    Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan; season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan.<\/p>\n

    Transfer skillet to the oven and bake chicken until cooked through and juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife, 10 to 12 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Arrange chicken on a platter. Spoon sauce over. Top with basil.<\/p>\n
