This week’s menu has a lot of braai time and a lot of starch, but life is short and mashed potatoes are fantastic. We opted for things that we love because we were feeling sorry for ourselves that we could not run due to lockdown regulations.
With the burgers I tried to link the search on the Jan Braai website, he does a lot of dreamy things with hamburgers. What we made are just ordinary burger patties (we make 6 from 1 kg of meat). We then include bacon, sweet chili sauce and a pineapple ring.
The sweetcorn pie is something that my aunt Ann used to make. It was one of those things that she would just have at hand for Sunday lunch even if she was never asked to bring anything. I have tried a few different recipes, but have not quite perfected it yet. I will let you know as soon as I do, because it makes a lovely side.
The bobotie is my grandmother’s recipe. Even when I follow it to the letter it is almost there but not perfect. Try, try again… I will share that recipe as soon as I got it right.
