Fireside Dinner Menu #28

This week’s menu found me extremely ambitious on Monday, stuffing, roasting and mashing things… There is another braaibroodjie recipe and a fantastic satay sauce recipe, which also went very well with the mini meatloaves.

You can download the menu with the available recipe links here:

So this week I am posting “off site”. We are blessed to be on our December holiday in the Eastern Cape. Scroll down to download the file with the links to some of the recipes.

The menu this week has a lot of ambitious efforts of which the highlight is probably Jan Braai’s carrot cake. It is as fantastic as it sounds, and I am thinking we might try it for our Christmas dinner as well.

I clearly also had a coconut milk theme going this week!

Fireside dinner menu # 17

This week features a lot of sweet potatoes because I had a craving. We also cleaned out all the extra’s from the freezer so yes, Wednesday night’s dinner came from a box…

I told you about the lamb shank saga. The recipe is here.

Thursday night introduced me to a mac ‘n cheese braaibroodjie. Do not knock it until you’ve tried it, you will not be sorry!

Fireside Dinner Menu # 8

This week I have a menu that saw us by the braai 6 out of the 7 evenings. Links to various recipes are available and quite a few by Jan Braai. I see that his website was revamped this week so go and take a look!

The highlight for me in this menu is the Moroccan chicken pie. A lifetime ago the Engineer and I (when young and free and able to stay awake later than 8pm) had a date at a cooking school. This specific evening was Moroccan themed, and I think that is probably what kindled my love for Moroccan food as well. On the menu that night was a Moroccan chicken pie, very different from the traditional South African version. It is a blend of beautiful flavours. Try it, you will not be sorry. I was even so impressed with this one that I remembered to take some photographs.
