Lekker braai!
By Gus Silber
Short of the four-time Rugby World Cup champions — “Bokke! Bokke! Bokke!” — is there anything that brings South Africans together better (and stronger) than a braai?
Of course not.
Sure, we may argue about the firewood, and the marinade, and the number of seconds you can hold your hand over the flames before the braai is ready to braai, but at the end of the day — or the start of the braai, whichever comes sooner — summer just wouldn’t be summer without this quintessential South African culinary tradition.
The basic recipe may not have changed for thousands of years, but in a country where braaiing is as much a science as an art, there’s no holding back the advance of braai-tech.
With that in mind, here are some braaied ideas to make your next braai even better. Enjoy!
