DENNY BILTONG PASTA POTJIE
While doing our road trip we realised the most popular snack next to the road is definitely biltong. All shapes and sizes and types. Biltong. It is a great snack, salty, full of protein and will keep you going for a bit. We collected so much biltong along the way, we thought, let us make the world famous biltong potjie! Another bonus is that all the ingredients are easy to get in small towns where there may only be one shop.
PERI PERI SKILPADJIES
You start by braaiing the skilpadjies over very hot coals, to caramalise the fat. Then you prepare your peri peri sauce. Serve it with toasted bread to mop up the sauce, peri-peri skilpadjies can be enjoyed as a meal on their own for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

BLESBOK STROGANOFF
Originally from Russia, this version of the old classic is right at home here in the Democratic Republic of Braai. To prepare a great beef Stroganoff you need the right ingredients and you need to follow the correct method. The most important procedure is to flash-fry thin strips of steak so that they have the taste of having endured intense heat, without completely drying out. It is best to do this is in your large fireproof pan, as there is no better way to truly generate lots of heat than with the licking flames of a proper wood fire.
COFFEE SPICED STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND POTATOES
This recipe has the best of all the worlds. Meat, potatoes, mushrooms and lots of flavour!. Use your cast iron skillet to get the best end result. But your flat bottom no10 potjie will work just as great.
CHEESE POTBREAD
When you make this bread, don’t be shy to mix it up, We used all the bits of cheese left over in the fridge and chopped and mixed it together. Feel free to add anything that you think will go good with your cheese combo. Use the bread to soak up the cheese, almost like a fondue.
BRAAI AUBERGINE PITA
Depending on whether you prefer speaking Greek, Turkish or Arabic around the braai fire, you might also like to call this meal a gyro, döner or shawarma – it’s really up to you. Whatever language you speak, the important thing is to gather around a fire. Everyone loves this meal and as a bonus, it looks great in photos.
BIGGEST KING BURGER
While we did our research about the truth behind what goes into a Burger King Wopper, we found that the way they build and layer the ingredients is a big part of the recipe and adds to the taste of the burger eating experience itself. This time we made the biggest wopper ever! 1 size serves all! To make your job easier, buy ready made dough at your local super market if you dont feel like making it from scratch
Bolognese Quesadillas
I used Denny Bolognese sauce for this recipe, but you can always just use left over bolognese, or make it from scratch. This was one of my favourite meals that we prepared on the TV show. It is so easy and extremely delicious.
GNOCCHI WITH BACON AND CHEESE SAUCE
This meal works very well as a substantial starter for a fancy and expansive braai meal, where the mains would be meat served with a side of vegetables or salad. However, it is a delicious recipe, quite rich, and robust enough to stand on its own as a main meal, which is how I usually enjoy it.
