Hosting a braai on Heritage Day? Want to switch the menu up a bit? Why not! Food writer, Ilse van der Merwe shares two delish recipes that\u2019s so worth the try \u2013 a braaibroodjie flatbread and boerewors tortillas. It is super easy to make and especially moreish when shared around the braai with a bottle of Roodeberg Classic Red Blend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

QUICK AND EASY BRAAIBROODJIE FLATBREAD<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

This yeast-free recipe does not require any kneading or proofing and is ready to serve from scratch in about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Serves 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need<\/strong>: 250g white bread flour, plus extra for dusting; 15ml baking powder; 5ml salt; 250g double cream yoghurt; 30ml butter, melted, for brushing (or olive oil); about 80ml chutney; 1\u00bd – 2 cups mature cheddar, grated; 2 large (or a handful small) tomatoes, thinly sliced; \u00bd red onion, thinly sliced into rounds; salt and pepper, to taste; a handful fresh wild rocket leaves, to serve (optional)<\/p>\n

How to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 220\u00b0 C.<\/p>\n

For the flatbread dough: place the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium-large mixing bowl and stir well. Add the yoghurt, then use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until it gets clumpy. Continue mixing by hand until most of the flour is incorporated and shaped into a ball.<\/p>\n

Dust a clean working surface generously with flour, then use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangular shape, large enough to snugly fit into a standard baking tin (about 37 x 25 cm) – or use floured hands to press it out evenly.<\/p>\n

Transfer the dough to the baking tin lined with non-stick baking paper, then press it gently into all four corners. Brush all over with melted butter or olive oil, then bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, then use a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to distribute the chutney all over the surface.<\/p>\n

Top with grated cheese, tomatoes, onion and some salt & pepper. Return to the oven for another 12 minutes or until golden brown all over. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wooden serving board, top with some rocket leaves, and then slice into portions. Serve hot or at room temperature.<\/p>\n

BOEREWORS TORTILLAS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/em>This fresh look at boerewors with a little inspiration from Mexico is a great way to entertain a crowd by creating a fun self-help station with all the toppings arranged in separate bowls. A store-bought salsa replaces the traditional tomato \u2018smoor\u2019, but feel free to make your own.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serves 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need:<\/strong> 250g small tomatoes, sliced; 1 red onion, finely sliced; 1 – 2 ripe avocados sliced or diced; 250g sour cream; 1 jar Mexican-style tomato or chipotle salsa; 2 cups shredded lettuce; a small punnet coriander leaves; 500g boerewors; 2 – 3 mielies (corn on the cob); 4 large or 8 small soft tortillas (corn or flour); a few lemon\/ lime wedges, to serve<\/p>\n

How to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prepare your fire for a braai. In the meantime, place the prepared tomatoes, onion, avocado, sour cream, salsa, lettuce and coriander in separate serving bowls to get your tortilla self-help station ready before you start to braai the boerewors.<\/p>\n

Braai the \u2018wors\u2019 and mielies on a grid over medium-hot coals until cooked to your liking, turning them often. Remove from the heat and keep warm. Give your tortillas a quick toast on the grid using tongs to turn them over – you just want to freshen them up.<\/p>\n

Stack the hot tortillas and cover with a clean cloth to keep them soft. Cut the corn from the cobs and get ready to serve at once.<\/p>\n

To assemble: Place a toasted tortilla on a plate, then top with some tomato, onion, avocado, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, coriander, a piece of boerewors, some corn, and a squeeze of lime\/lemon.<\/p>\n

The Roodeberg Classic Red Blend is vibrant and silky smooth and works magic with all your favourite braai staples hot off the coals. A cinch with juicy chops, ribs and chicken, the wine\u2019s fruity, spicy character also goes down beautifully with meat-free alternatives.<\/p>\n
