There are few things that are better than having a braai. However, trying to figure out how to spice up the accompanying dishes can sometimes prove to be difficult. Here the traditional broodjie is spruced up as well as a plant-based version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Chakalaka and cheddar cheese braaibroodjie<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Ingredients<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 farmstyle loaf<\/p>\n\n\n\n
butter \u2014 for spreading<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koo\u00ae Mild & Spicy Chakalaka<\/p>\n\n\n\n
200 g cheddar cheese \u2014 grated<\/p>\n\n\n\n
salt and black pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Method:<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remove the crusts and slice the loaf lengthwise into four even slices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Butter two slices of bread on one side and place buttered side down on a board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over both slices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spread a generous layer of the chakalaka down the centre of each slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cover with the two remaining slices of bread and butter the tops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place the sandwiches inside a braai grid and slowly toast them over warm coals until golden brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serve hot off the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Cooking tip<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To prevent a soggy gebraaide broodjie<\/i>, strain the chakalaka to remove most of the sauce. Put the vegetables in the toastie and use the reserved sauce as dipping sauce for the braaibroodjie<\/i> once cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Cheesy mushroom braai pie<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Ingredients<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon vegetable oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 medium onions \u2014 thinly sliced<\/p>\n\n\n\n
250 g button mushrooms \u2014 sliced<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 sprigs fresh thyme \u2014 leaves removed and chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 box Fry\u2019s Big Fry Burger<\/p>\n\n\n\n
salt and black pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 sheets puff pastry<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 cups plant-based cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon fresh parsley \u2014 finely chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Method:<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heat a medium pan, add the vegetable oil and saut\u00e9 the onions over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the mushrooms and thyme and fry until the mix is nicely browned and softened. Remove from the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook the Big Fry Burgers on the braai and chop into smaller bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combine with the onion and mushroom mix. Season to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roll out the puff pastry in the shape of a rectangle directly onto a greased braai grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Top with the onion, mushroom and burger mix in an even layer, maintaining a 2 cm border around the edge of the pastry sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Top with a layer of cheese and finally the second sheet of pastry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seal along the border and press gently with a fork to create a textured edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brush with oil, close the braai grid and cook over medium coals for 15-20 minutes, until well browned and the pastry is cooked, turning often to avoid the pastry from scorching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once cooked, remove from the grid, sprinkle with chopped parsley and slice into individual portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
