The Leopard’s Leap team spent some time in Joburg to embrace the energy, bright blue skies, and crisp winter days of the highveld.
The city boasts an exciting food scene every night of the week, and Chef Christiaan from their team also used this inspiration in his food theme for June.
Samp and Sparkling Wine: Chef Christiaan reinterprets the humble samp into delicious and comforting winter meals. Ever considered Samp and Sparkling wine? The combination of fresh and nutty flavours in this samp recipe, paired with Leopard’s Leap Culinaria MCC, will blow you away. If you prefer still wine, Leopard’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect partner for seasonal greens. Get the recipe here.
Tomato and Chorizo Baked Samp: The warmth of chorizo’s smoky paprika meets the freshness of Mediterranean tomato in this easy one-dish wonder.
