MK’s top 10 braai recipes to celebrate Heritage Day
Not sure what to cook up for Heritage Day tomorrow? Take some inspiration from our top 10 braai recipes and prepare for a feast of local flavour!
Cheesy stuffed roast onions
Roast onions on the braai are a must the next time you light up the fire. Stuff them with your favourite cheese (we used Parmesan) and they will quickly become an outdoor favourite.
Bacony beans
If ever there was a braai side to take centre stage, this is it. So light up those coals, gather the troops and tuck into our incredible bacony beans.
Apricot-butter braaied snoek
With spring and Heritage Month swooping down on us at the same time, we have no choice but to light the fire and make the most of South Africa’s beautiful fresh produce. Gather the crowd and treat them to our braaied snoek this weekend.
Friday braai day: Perfect spatchcock chicken
I have been fortunate enough to have learned most of my cooking from South Africa’s best chefs and friends who are chefs. Being on the road for two months, braaing all over SA every day was the best adventure anyone could ever ask for, and some of our best-kept secrets were revealed. A nice and easy recipe that Bertus Basson taught me, is a perfect spatchcock chicken.
Friday braai day: Beef Wellington
Here is another Ultimate Braai Master challenge we did somewhere in the Karoo. This beef Wellington is not for the faint-hearted but will give you all the bragging rights over your mates if you can pull it off.
Friday braai day: Smoked brisket
Today I want to talk to you about how I make my smoked brisket at the World Food Championships in USA. Smoking food is not big in South Africa – yet. America is where it’s at and it’s a lifestyle to them.
Friday braai day: The perfect steak
The old favourite – steak – is the first thing I think about when I hear the word ‘braai’. So I thought I’d treat you to some of my favourite tips and tricks this week so you can get the perfect steak every time.
Friday Braai day: Sticky hot wings
I’ve got a pile of hot sticky wings for you this #FridayBraaiDay! Quick, easy and messy never tasted this good before.
Friday braai day: Tomato bredie potjie with parsley pesto and potbrood
This is the tomato bredie potjie is tastiest, most flavourful potjie that you will ever make. I love lamb and using it in a potjie is just perfect, especially when you cook it on the bone with some marrow and fat. That is where all the flavour comes from and South Africa has some of the best lamb in the world.
