Next time you’re having a Sunday family-and-friends get-together around the fire, make it fuss free. Give the chaps some tongs and a selection of protein, order in the sides and pud, and pour yourself a glass of something cool and boozy. Happy Sunday indeed
When we can’t be fagged cooking the braai sides, we have no shame in ordering in. Our fave spot? Frozen For You … for everything from delish starter snacks, like Charlie’s Crispy Chicken Wings, to sides – love the Dauphinois potatoes and creamed spinach, and sauces – the creamy mushroom sauce is always a hot hit!
This Rainbow Couscous Salad is a healthy, tasty and totally refreshing plant-based salad, topped with a zesty herb dressing.
Chicken prego rolls for the win. Is there anyone who doesn’t love one … we think not! Frozen For You call this their famous prego sauce! For good reason. Drench you chicken in the sauce before serving with a soft Portuguese roll. The sauces works just as well with a beef fillet prego.
Aubergines, courgettes and red peppers seasoned with Italian herbs and tomatoes … yum. Ratatouille is a healthy French vegetable stew … the perfect side dish at a braai, and an option for the vegetarians at the party.
Karen’s Thai salad
So you’re feeling like you should do something. Why, we don’t know. But anyhoo. We chatted to Frozen for You’s Karen Short – and she was kind enough to share the recipe for this easy but delicious Thai salad.
You’ll need:
- 6 cups shredded cabbage (combination of red and green)
- 1 cup roughly chopped matchstick carrots
- 1 red bell pepper, diced into matchsticks
- Half cup sliced green onions
- third cup chopped coriander
For the dressing:
- A third of a cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1.5 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1.5 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1.5 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 2 tsp peeled and finely minced ginger
- 1 large clove finely minced garlic
Toss all salad ingredients in a large bowl or arrange on a platter. Mix all ingredients together well, then pour over salad just before serving.
Sweet endings … Scoop generous amounts of Frozen For You Brownies & Cream Ice Cream, which includes chunks of their Famous Chocolate Brownies, into a cone, and have a jug of Salted Caramel Sauce on the side.
Tell them you made it yourself! Frozen For You’s Meringue Roulade is a light and airy show-stopper.
