Chicken Caesar Burger
The Caesar salad, originating in Mexico, is one of the world’s classic salads and, as a standalone meal, the salad I eat most often. When you repurpose the same list of ingredients but in the form of a burger on the braai, we are giving this flavour combination the chance to reach its full potential. Firstly, a braaied chicken breast fillet is superior to any other version of that meat, and secondly, an olive oil-drenched roll toasted on the coals of a wood fire is clearly going to trump any crouton prepared in a kitchen. The sauce is very easy to make in a pestle and mortar, food processor or with a stick blender. If you still don’t have any of these essential pieces of culinary equipment, buy at least one of them now. You will use it to work the garlic, capers and anchovy fillets into a smooth paste, which will be used to flavour the mayonnaise that forms the cornerstone of the meal.
