Recently, Idwala Game Lodge ran a competition to tie in with National Braai Day (Heritage Day). They were swamped with great recipes and agreed to share the winning one with us.
Braai Skewers by Hila Jonker
Lamb and Moroccan sausage skewers
What you need:
cubed lamb
red,green,yellow peppers
spicy Moroccan sausages (we made ours but any spicy sausage will do)
paprika
cumin
tumeric
crushed dried garlic
What to do:
Marinate the lamb in the spices. Pop everything onto the skewers how ever you wish. Pop on a hot fire and turn every now and again
Braai cheese and veg skewers
What you need:
red,green,yellow peppers
mushrooms
baby marrow
Lancewood braai cheese
NoMU vegetable Fonds (or any other vegetable stock)
What to do:
Cut the mushrooms in half, cut the baby marrow into pieces about 4cm long. Soak in hot vegetable stock (this makes the veg soft enough that they don''t split when skewered). Skewer the veg and cheese as you wish. Braai and serve
