Recipe of the day: Bok-style lamb chops and veges

Ever wondered what the Springboks eat to fuel their performance on the field? SA Rugby and Springbok dietitian Robyn Moore have partnered with a major local retailer on a new campaign, “Eat Like a Champion,” unpacking the everyday foods behind the team’s conditioning.

Think banana bread, steak, lamb, potatoes and pasta rather than supplements or specialised diets.

In that spirit, here’s a simple, protein-rich recovery meal you can recreate at home.
