Beef

Braaied Beef Tongue Prego Roll

My popular beef tongue prego roll recipe brings the flavour! An absolute favourite.

Bread

Giant Blueberry Potjie Muffin

There is a very good reason why you need to learn how to nail this recipe. One night, around the campfire, you’ll be able to casually mention that you’ll serve freshly baked blueberry muffin with breakfast in the morning. No one (except the other enlightened braaiers who’ve read this book) will take you seriously. Until the next morning that is, when you do exactly that.

Dessert

Brandy and Cola Malva Pudding

The best just got better. My original malva potjie recipe is based on the very originally penned malva recipe, but with a new sauce. A real malva pudding is a two-fold affair. You bake a sponge-like cake and this is dressed with a caramel-like sauce shortly before serving. Said sauce is not as thick as that of a sticky toffee pudding so the sauce is sucked up by the cake part, the upshot being a wonderful end result that we all came to love. What we’re doing in this recipe is cutting the sugar and water ingredients from the original sauce and adding a cup of cola that obviously contains sugar and water. It also contains caramel notes, which really is the plan here. The cream stays and lastly I add brandy to the sauce, because where there’s a fire, a braai and cola there should obviously be brandy.
