Inspired by this need to spend time outdoors, and to fill that time with delicious food, we sifted through our recipe archives to find our best braai recipes. We’ve made sure to include a little something for everyone: red meat, seafood and vegetarian offerings…even some of our go-to braai day sweet treats. Grab your favourites and get cooking!

Because sometimes nothing else will do! This takes a bit of prep work but once you have everything in place your lunch will be cooked before you can say Prego! By the way, this recipe is not truly Portuguese but it is the NOMU way.

Coleslaw has had a bad rap for long enough. If you use good mayo, it’s healthy, crunchy and delicious! Add thinly sliced baby fennel or capers for extra character.

My brother, Oscar, often treats us to his incredible delicious hot smoked salmon, which he serves straight off the coals with homemade mayo and his freshly baked sourdough bread. He showed Linds and I hot it’s done, surprisingly it’s easier than I thought as the secret is in the coals!
