00Irish ChampBy Valerie PretoriusChamp is a classic Irish side dish, essentially mashed potatoes with spring onions (scallions) and plenty of butter. To make it extra special, we'll soak the spring onions in warm milk to mellow their flavour and create a wonderfully creamy champ. It's a comforting and versatile side that complements many dishes.
Pronunciation: Champ: /tʃæmp/ (rhymes with "stamp")00Irish Cider Pork and OnionsBy Valerie PretoriusThis Irish Cider Pork and Onions is a hearty dish, steeped in tradition.

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. The delicious taste and easy preparation make them an excellent indoor and outdoor cooking option. These delicious skewers will be a hit with your friends and family and quickly become a staple at any summer barbecue or braai. If you're looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that will be a crowd-pleaser, give curry sosaties a try.
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.
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.
