It's the season for braaing!

Braaing is not just a food preparation method here in South Africa but a national past time, especially during the December holidays when long summer days mean everyone is outdoors and spending time with family. We made a quick braai with lamb chops, sausages and chicken done on the braai and ribs done in the oven. We made a couple salads to accompany the braai and bought some quick desserts. For marinating chops and ribs: 1 tsp Steak and chops spice 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp BBQ spice 1 tsp crushed ginger and garlic 1/4 cup oil Salt and black pepper to taste Pinch of dried thyme 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce For marinating the chicken: 1 tbs mayonnaise 1/2 tsp mixed herbs 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp chicken spice 1 tsp crushed ginger and garlic 1/4 cup oil Salt and black pepper to taste Splash of lemon juice Nandos Medium Peri peri We served potato salad and baked beans salad. Other sides include the likes of garlic bread, green salad and corn on the cob. What is your favourite side?
