Seasonal Green salad with Valley Kreef off the braai, blanched green vegetables, herbs, cucumber and a roasted garlic and parmesan mayo
– Cathedral Cellar Sauvignon Blanc
I love chicken prepared on the braai and this even more so as it is wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese. We prepare a lovely seasonal salad with it which can be eaten all year round and is great for entertaining. All the in-gredients can be prepared ahead of time and the meat finished on the braai and served immediately onto the the salad. Serve with some home made roosterkoek or fresh bread as an extra treat. It can be served as a starter or as a main course and ideal for the whole family.
