20Rustic Buttermilk Soda Bread with OatsBy OZ BraaiGet ready for a life-changing baking experience as you discover the magic and simplicity of Soda Bread! This incredibly tasty and easy-to-make bread has been delighting taste buds ever since its birth in the mid-19th century in Ireland. The secret ingredient that makes this bread so scrumptious and straightforward to prepare? Baking soda, of course! As the Irish stumbled upon baking soda as a leavening agent, replacing the traditional yeast, they unlocked the door to a world of flavorful, quick, and comforting bread-making. The reaction between baking soda and an acidic ingredient like buttermilk, yogurt, or vinegar creates a delightful rise, resulting in a soft, tender crumb with a slightly tangy taste. In addition, the bread's golden, rustic crust offers a perfect balance of texture that adds to its charm. What makes Soda Bread so unique is its remarkable ease of preparation. There's no need to wait hours for the dough to rise or fuss over complicated kneading techniques. Instead, just the ingredients, shape the dough and pop it in the oven. You'll have a warm, freshly baked loaf with your favourite spread, a hearty soup, or a delicious stew in less than an hour. Not only is Soda Bread incredibly tasty, but it's also versatile. The basic recipe can be tweaked with add-ins, like dried fruits, nuts, seeds, or herbs, to create your signature loaf. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to explore your culinary creativity and savour the delicious outcome. So, what are you waiting for? Embrace the joy of baking Soda Bread, and delight in the savoury simplicity that has captured hearts (and stomachs) since the Irish first introduced this incredible treat. Trust us; you'll be hooked!

30South African 3 Meat 🍖 Curry Sosaties (Kebabs)By OZ BraaiCurry sosaties, also known as kebabs, are a beloved staple at traditional South African Braais or barbecues. These delicious skewers are made with a mouthwatering combination of apricot jam and curry marinade that sets them apart from other grilled dishes. Although the preparation process for sosaties is relatively quick, it is highly recommended to marinate the meat overnight to allow the flavours to penetrate and enhance the overall taste fully. The apricot jam gives a sweet and tangy balance to the spiciness of the curry marinade, creating a unique and irresistible flavour profile. The key to making the best sosaties is using high-quality ingredients and allowing enough time for the marinade to fully infuse the meat. The combination of flavours in the marinade will not only tenderize the meat but also leave it with a wonderfully aromatic and flavorful taste that will make your mouth water. Whether you're hosting a traditional South African Braai or a backyard BBQ, curry sosaties are the perfect addition to any meal.

20Peri-Peri Chicken and VegBy OZ BraaiHere is one of my personal favourites. Peri-Peri Chicken with vegetables. The reason why this is such an awesome meal is that you can cook both your meat and veggies at the same time and without getting your camp oven or skillet dirty. Harry from Fire to Fork prepared this awesome meal using our Camp Braai with medium coals. Another method to braai this meal is to hang the braai basket on the stand about 1M away from open flames. It will take about 2.5 hours hanging it next to the fire but it will require less turning because it will slow roast. Image Credits: Fire to Fork

40Slow Roasted Rack of LambBy OZ BraaiHe needs no introduction and is one of our favourite fire cooks in Australia. Harry from Fire to Fork is also no stranger when it comes to cooking with our Camp Braai and has been using it since the very first version. We've recently contacted Harry asking him if he could help us create some inspiring recipes using our Camp Braai to help give our customers and followers some great tips on how to use the Camp Braai for cooking some awesome meals while out camping. He did not disappoint, and for his first recipe in the series, he prepared a slow-roasted rack of lamb with roasted vegetables on the side at a location that is guaranteed to make all of us VERY Jealous! He used the stand and braai basket next to open flames ON THE BEACH to slow roast the rack of lamb and used a skillet to fry some mouth-watering vegetables. There are two ways to cook with the Camp Braai. 1. You can hang the basket on the hooks and place it next to an open fire for slow roasting OR; 2. You can wait for the fire to settle to get some good coals, place the stand over the coals and put the braai basket on one of the four levels of the stand depending on what you are cooking. We prefer option 1 when it comes to slow roasting a rack of lamb or a full rack of lamb ribs as it helps to cook the excess fat out of the meat. We've even slow roasted 2 flat chooks for 3 hours which gave us ample time to socialise next to the fire. You can choose to use a combination of option 1 and 2. First, slow roasting the meat and then just before taking it off, placing the stand over medium coals and choosing the appropriate height setting for your basket in order to give your meat a quick and final roasting. When cooking meat that does not need slow-roasting, we recommend using option two as this will allow you to cook your meat much faster by selecting the correct heat setting for the type of meat you are using.
