Pam and Wendy grew up in Durban, South Africa, in a culturally diverse community. Not only was their community heavily diverse, so was their family. “We are what they consider as colored because of cultural mix,” says Pam. “Our family is extremely diverse. So we [have] Indian aunties, we have Black uncles, white grandparents.

Indian influences had a major impact on the dishes that Wendy and Pam consumed growing up, and they quickly learned how to prepare such dishes at a young age—many of which can be found on Amawele’s menu today.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the components that they use on their menu is Roti, a buttery, thin Indian flatbread that is dipped in a variety of sauces and curries. Although Roti is traditionally Indian, Pam and Wendy decided to reinvent it with secret spices; they call it South African Roti or Amawele’s Roti. (Currently, their South African Roti is headed to retail nationwide.)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDNb4BhMxA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The idea of opening Amawele’s Cuisine didn’t materialize until they moved to the United States. In South Africa, they had both worked in finance, and were eager to travel. Their initial plan was to move to the U.S. for a year or two, but upon arrival they saw the opportunities for business and decided to stay. While working to pick up jobs to make ends meet, they kept the faith that something bigger and better was heading their direction.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When South Africa hosted the 2010 World Cup, Pam and Wendy started planning a party with friends. They soon realized that San Francisco didn’t have any South African restaurants that could provide food for the party. Without a beat, they decided to prepare their favorite dishes, and sure enough, their spicy, flavorful meals were a hit. The next day, their friends encouraged them to open a restaurant. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_139848\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-139848 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-800x607.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-800x607.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-1020x774.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-160x121.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-768x583.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pam and Wendy with a friend at the World Cup 2010 party.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Amawele’s Cuisine didn’t happen overnight—in fact, it took nearly three years to finally open. In the meantime, Pam and Wendy marketed their business while driving rideshare, saved money by working as nannies, and eventually borrowed $100,000 on credit cards. Although they had supportive friends, the realities of opening a business as two black immigrant women in San Francisco was a challenge. “People didn't look at us and say, ‘Oh, I see success in you.’ It was a little hard,” Pam says. “it wasn't like they just said, ‘Oh, well, yeah, they'll just sign the lease.

Some customers had trouble understanding the dishes, and even asked if the restaurant ever served exotic dishes like ostrich eggs or crocodile meat. “I never had an ostrich in my life, so I'm not going to sell something I don't know,” says Pam. “And again, it's not a typical South African dish, it's not. So there was a lot of educating in terms of...South African Cuisine.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most popular dishes at Amawele’s is Bunny Chow, a cross-cultural dish of English, Indian and Zulu cuisine. Bunny Chow is a hollowed-out quarter loaf of sweet white bread filled with either chicken curry, vegetable curry, lamb curry or beef curry, served with a side of pickled carrots to ease the spiciness. The name “Bunny” is another word for \u003ci>Bania\u003c/i>, an Indian caste of merchants who used white bread as bowls to transport their curries. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Initially the twins were against putting it on the menu; they simply couldn’t imagine seeing men in suits digging into Bunny Chow.

Indian influences had a major impact on the dishes that Wendy and Pam consumed growing up, and they quickly learned how to prepare such dishes at a young age—many of which can be found on Amawele’s menu today.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the components that they use on their menu is Roti, a buttery, thin Indian flatbread that is dipped in a variety of sauces and curries. Although Roti is traditionally Indian, Pam and Wendy decided to reinvent it with secret spices; they call it South African Roti or Amawele’s Roti. (Currently, their South African Roti is headed to retail nationwide.)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"instagramLink","attributes":{"named":{"instagramId":"CEDNb4BhMxA"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The idea of opening Amawele’s Cuisine didn’t materialize until they moved to the United States. In South Africa, they had both worked in finance, and were eager to travel. Their initial plan was to move to the U.S. for a year or two, but upon arrival they saw the opportunities for business and decided to stay. While working to pick up jobs to make ends meet, they kept the faith that something bigger and better was heading their direction.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When South Africa hosted the 2010 World Cup, Pam and Wendy started planning a party with friends. They soon realized that San Francisco didn’t have any South African restaurants that could provide food for the party. Without a beat, they decided to prepare their favorite dishes, and sure enough, their spicy, flavorful meals were a hit. The next day, their friends encouraged them to open a restaurant. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_139848\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-139848 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-800x607.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-800x607.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-1020x774.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-160x121.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555-768x583.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2021/02/IMG_6555.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pam and Wendy with a friend at the World Cup 2010 party.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Amawele’s Cuisine didn’t happen overnight—in fact, it took nearly three years to finally open. In the meantime, Pam and Wendy marketed their business while driving rideshare, saved money by working as nannies, and eventually borrowed $100,000 on credit cards. Although they had supportive friends, the realities of opening a business as two black immigrant women in San Francisco was a challenge. “People didn't look at us and say, ‘Oh, I see success in you.’ It was a little hard,” Pam says. “it wasn't like they just said, ‘Oh, well, yeah, they'll just sign the lease.

Some customers had trouble understanding the dishes, and even asked if the restaurant ever served exotic dishes like ostrich eggs or crocodile meat. “I never had an ostrich in my life, so I'm not going to sell something I don't know,” says Pam. “And again, it's not a typical South African dish, it's not.

Bunny Chow is a hollowed-out quarter loaf of sweet white bread filled with either chicken curry, vegetable curry, lamb curry or beef curry, served with a side of pickled carrots to ease the spiciness. The name “Bunny” is another word for \u003ci>Bania\u003c/i>, an Indian caste of merchants who used white bread as bowls to transport their curries. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Initially the twins were against putting it on the menu; they simply couldn’t imagine seeing men in suits digging into Bunny Chow.

In fact, it wasn’t customary for boys and men in Senegal to learn how to cook. But after his father passed away, his mother became the sole provider for the family's six children, and she spent long hours working, returning home late to cook dinner. This caused enough heartache and tribulation for Oumar to step in and support his mother in the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the cultural backlash and mockery from his friends, he knew that cooking was his family’s saving grace.

After being let go due to an injury, he soon rediscovered his love for cooking. It was in Argentina where he learned about empanadas and the complex flavors wrapped into each savory pastry, which would later become a best-selling dish at The Damel, his brick-and-mortar restaurant in downtown Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Oumar picked up another important experience before coming to the Bay Area. In 2008, three years after he'd moved to Argentina, he successfully opened a restaurant in Necochea, a small town off the coast of Buenos Aires. Despite his success in Argentina, it left him unfulfilled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While on vacation in Brazil that same year, Oumar noticed something familiar in the sea of people, and their clothing and cuisines.

Àkàrà, a West African dish, is a bean fritter made from cowpeas. The beans are washed and soaked overnight, then blended with red habanero peppers, onions, red bell peppers, and salt. The mixture is then scooped with a ladle into hot bubbling oil, where it's fried to a golden brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CIHfWLZBHDF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acarajé is made in much the same way, with the variation of being fried in palm oil and stuffed with cassava puréed with coconut milk, and topped with Brazilian vinaigrette salsa. Acarajé is currently a staple at The Damel, where customers rave about the bold yet delicious flavors at play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Oumar moved to Oakland in 2017, he began an Afro-Brazilian catering business that quickly flourished after he catered a lunch for Salesforce. In May 2019, he opened his restaurant, The Damel, which features dishes from his travels to Argentina, Brazil, and home country Senegal. Along with best-selling Acarajé, it's known for Oumar's \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedamel.com/online-ordering/the-damel/menu\">empanadas\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_TjfEB1Oh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Damel’s empanadas are like no other—in fact, the dough is imported directly from Argentina to provide the most authentic flavor. “The ground beef is one of the most popular ones,\" Oumar explains. \"The ground beef, I'm making it in a way that nobody makes it here. We take the fat out, and we put a lot of flavor in it. So it makes you want to eat more, yet feel guilt-free, because it’s healthy. Although it has Argentinian influences, I bring my own touch to it.

In fact, it wasn’t customary for boys and men in Senegal to learn how to cook. But after his father passed away, his mother became the sole provider for the family's six children, and she spent long hours working, returning home late to cook dinner. This caused enough heartache and tribulation for Oumar to step in and support his mother in the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the cultural backlash and mockery from his friends, he knew that cooking was his family’s saving grace. One day his mother told him, “You never know when you're going to need this, because life is long. You're helping me and you're getting knowledge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_139667\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-139667 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Damel6.jpg\" alt=\"Oumar Diouf with siblings in Senegal.\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Damel6.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Damel6-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Damel6-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oumar Diouf, at center, with siblings in Senegal. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Oumar Diuof)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Those words later rang true when Oumar left Senegal to play professional soccer in Argentina at the age of 22. After being let go due to an injury, he soon rediscovered his love for cooking. It was in Argentina where he learned about empanadas and the complex flavors wrapped into each savory pastry, which would later become a best-selling dish at The Damel, his brick-and-mortar restaurant in downtown Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Oumar picked up another important experience before coming to the Bay Area. In 2008, three years after he'd moved to Argentina, he successfully opened a restaurant in Necochea, a small town off the coast of Buenos Aires.

Thank Saint Patrick's Day grocery ordering. Freitag says if you have corned beef in your fridge or freezer, cook it slow on the stove and on low until it's really tender. (She says to cook a 3-pound corned beef at a simmer, covered with water or a water-beer mixture, for 5 hours or until fork tender.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then use in multiple ways: Go ahead and have your delayed Saint Patrick's Day dinner with potatoes and cabbage. Leftovers can be turned into corned beef hash in the morning, be put in a sandwich for lunch and be added to pasta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For other kinds and cuts of meat you're planning to keep, make sure to portion them into smaller sizes so you don't waste any after thawing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(See the mustard sauce recipe below for something to top onto leftover corned beef.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Need ingredient substitutions?
