Denningvleis is one of the oldest dishes in Cape Malay cuisine, a slow-cooked lamb stew with a sweet and sour profile. The meat is braised for hours with tamarind paste and brown sugar until it falls off the bone. It is almost always served with yellow rice or mashed potatoes to absorb the rich sauce. The defining characteristic is the sharp tamarind tang that cuts through the rich lamb fat. The trap is a version that is too sweet without enough tamarind kick.
