Best braai recipes for Heritage month

With the weather starting to slowly warm up, we found ourselves drawn outside to bask in the spring sunshine – and in doing so, started noticing the mouth-watering smells of neighbourhood braais filling the air.

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.
Masala Sweet Potato
/5
Sweet potatoes have a considerably low GI index of only 44 in comparison to normal potatoes which have a GI index of 75! Remember to keep the skins on as they are packed with vitamins and are sweet & delicious when roasted on the coals.
