30Braai Potjie 🥘 (BBQ Stew) with Roasted Veggies 🥕By OZ BraaiThis braai potjie is a spinoff of a traditional South African potjie or stew but with two main differences. The meat is browned aka braai'ed over coals and the vegetables are roasted seperate from the potjie / stew. The reason we love this potjie is because I get to braai and linger around the fire for two and a half hours while the potjie and vegetables cook.
