  2. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the spiced chops and let this marinate while you prepare your salsa.
  3. Place the mielie on a grid over hot coals, and braai until charred and cooked. Set aside to cool.
  4. Chop the onion, red pepper and tomatoes into small blocks and place into a glass jar. Cut the kernels off the mielie and add to the jar.

  6. Open the jar, take a very hot coal from your fire and place into the jar, close immediately with the lid and let this smoke in the closed jar to add a smoked flavour. Open the lid after a few minutes and remove the coal with your tongs.
