Braai lasagne potjie After every braai, if there is any leftover meat, debone and skin the meat. then chop it up finely and add it to the container in your freezer that is specially placed there for

5 this purpose. as soon as you have enough meat in that container, make the braai lasagne potjie. If you don t have leftover meat, just fry 500g lean beef mince in the potjie as you start the process. What you need (feeds 4 6) 12 lasagne sheets butter For the bolognese sauce: 500 g finely chopped leftover braaied meat (any mixture of steak, chops, pork, chicken, boerewors). Failing this, just use 500g beef mince and fry in the potjie until lightly browned. 1 onion (finely chopped) 1 clove garlic (finely chopped) 1 cup mix of grated carrots and finely chopped celery 1 tot butter 1/2 cup dry red wine 2 tins chopped tomatoes 1 tot tomato paste 1 tot oregano 1 bay leaf 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper For the béchamel (white) sauce: 3 tots butter 3 tots flour 2 cups stock (vegetable, beef, chicken, etc., whatever you have on hand. Alternatively 1 cup stock and 1 cup milk) 1?2 cup cream 1?2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or aged cheddar, but then use more) 1?2 tsp nutmeg salt and pepper

6 What to do Make the bolognese sauce: In the pot that you will bake the lasagne in, mix the onion, garlic, carrot and celery and fry gently in the butter until soft. Some light flames should give you the correct heat. If it boils too rapidly, remove the pot from the flames and heat it with a few coals. Add the meat, wine, tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Stir very well then simmer for minutes, stirring now and then. Keep the cooked sauce in another container until you need it for Step 3. Make the béchamel sauce: In a separate pot, melt the butter and use a wooden spoon to mix the flour completely into the melted butter. Now add the stock bit by bit while you continuously stir the mixture. When all the stock has been added, let the sauce simmer for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream, Parmesan and nutmeg. Add salt and pepper to taste. Make the lasagne: Fill the cast- iron pot with layers of bolognese sauce, pasta sheets and béchamel sauce. A flatbottomed pot will result in a neater lasagne but any roundbottomed pot is also fine. Put the lid on the pot and bake the lasagne for about 50 minutes by placing the pot on a stand over coals and also putting a few coals on the lid of the pot. When all the pasta sheets are completely soft, the lasagne is ready. Kerrie-Sosaties

11 Ingredients 800 g strong bread flour, plus extra for dusting 1 x 7 g sachet of dried yeast 100 g stale breadcrumbs For the butter: 1 bulb of garlic 500 g unsalted butter, (at room temperature) 1 lemon 1 bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley, (30g) 1 level teaspoon cayenne pepper Method Everyone loves garlic bread, and as you d expect, this version totally over delivers. Soft, spongy and with the crunchiest backsides you ve ever seen, as well as being bombed with pungent garlic butter what s not to love? One of my favourite ways to eat this is simply with a massive green salad for lunch, but of course the great thing about garlic bread is that it can be a side for many things chilli, pasta, soup, part of a picnic you name it. Put the flour, yeast and 1 teaspoon of sea salt into a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Gradually pour in 550ml of tepid water, continuously stirring and bringing in the flour from the outside as you go to form a rough dough. Transfer to a flour-dusted surface and knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth and springy. Place in a bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and prove in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

12 Meanwhile, make the butter this is a big batch, to make good use of your time, and you can freeze the extra for rainy days. Use a garlic crusher to crush the garlic into the softened butter, finely grate over the zest of ½ a lemon, finely chop and add the parsley (stalks and all), the cayenne and a pinch of salt, then mix it all together. Remove one quarter to use in this recipe, then place the rest on a sheet of greaseproof paper, roll it up into a log and twist the ends like a Christmas cracker, then pop into the freezer. After 30 minutes, get the butter out and slice it up to pre-portion, then re-roll and return to the freezer, where it will keep very happily for up to 6 months. Spread one third of your soft butter portion all around the base and sides of a large metal tray (25cm x 35cm), then scatter in the breadcrumbs and shake around into an even layer so they stick to the butter. Divide up the dough into 35 pieces, then, one-by-one, roll each one into a ball and place in the tray in rows 5 balls across and 7 balls long is perfect. Bomb over another third of the soft butter, in and around the balls. Leave to prove for another 1 hour 30 minutes, or until doubled in size again. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5. Sprinkle the balls with a little salt, then bake on the bottom shelf of the oven for 30 minutes, or until lovely and golden. Bomb over that final third of your soft butter and spread it around to give the bread a beautiful shine. Whack the tray in the middle of the table or at the centre of your picnic for sharing, and let everyone tear off their own pieces.

14 Serves 2 This is the ideal recipe to impress friends at your next braai! Go to your local organic and hormone-free butchery (this dish is all about the beef, so the quality of your meat is a big factor!) and ask them to cut you a 1kg T-Bone (this will easily serve 2 hungry people). Prep Time 45 min Cook Time 20 min INGREDIENTS: 1kg T-Bone Steak MARINADE: 150ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil 60ml Red Wine Vinegar 60ml Soy Sauce 2 Tbsp Maldon Salt Flakes 2 Tbsp Freshly Chopped Garlic 1 Tbsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper 75g Fresh Rosemary (2 big handfuls) MARINADE: 1.Combine Olive Oil, Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Salt, Pepper and Garlic and whisk into a vinaigrette. 2.Bruise the rosemary and rip into pieces, mix into vinaigrette. 3.Place T-Bone and marinade into a large Ziploc bag, seal with air expelled and marinade for at least 40 minutes, turning half way. GRILL: 1.Heat grill/braai to smoking hot. 2.Place T-Bone fat side down and allow the fat to render for a

15 few minutes. 3.Then braai to desired done-ness. 4.Because the steak is so thick and bone in, this is very difficult to overcook (which is great!). 5.Bank on at least 8-10 minutes per side for medium-rare, but use a meat thermometer or feel to determine this exactly. 6.Remove from grill and rest for at least half the cooking time. 7.Carve off the bone in thin slices and serve. GREAT TIPS: 1.The longer you marinade the better, go overnight if you can! SERVE WITH: I love doing roasted butternut and basil on the side and of course a good glug of red wine, but this goes equally well with a delicious buttery mash or simply a salad.
