Become a Braai Master!
In the words of my Cuzzin Barry, "Nou gaan ons braai!"
Learn to braai in beautiful Devon! The South African braai is a beloved tradition that has been passed down through generations. The word "braai" is Afrikaans for "barbecue," but it's much more than just a way of cooking or grilling food; It's a cultural tradition that brings people together. It's an opportunity to share food, stories, and laughter with loved ones, and it's a cherished part of South African culture, a gathering of friends and family around an open flame, where everyone is welcome. |
Braai, also known as barbecue, is a popular South African tradition that involves cooking meat, vegetables, and other food items over an open flame. If you're interested in learning how to braai, there are a few things you'll need to keep in mind.
Firstly, it's important to choose the right equipment. You'll need a braai grill, charcoal, and firelighters. You may also want to invest in some braai utensils, such as tongs, a spatula, and a basting brush.
Next, you'll need to select the right meat. Some popular options include steak, chicken, boerewors (a South African beef sausage), and lamb chops. You may want to marinate your meat beforehand to add flavour and tenderize it.
Once you have everything ready, it's time to start the fire. Use the firelighters to start the charcoal and wait until it turns gray before adding your meat to the grill. Remember to turn your meat regularly.
Finally, once your meat is cooked to your liking, it's time to enjoy your delicious braai. Serve it up with some traditional sides, such as pap and chakalaka, and enjoy with friends and family.
Overall, learning to braai is a fun and rewarding experience that allows you to enjoy delicious food and spend time with loved ones.
