Braai
South Africa's most important social institution, transcending all racial and cultural divisions.
South Africa's sacred barbecue — a social institution built around an open wood fire, with boerewors, lamb chops and pap. More ritual than meal.
Ingredients
Method
Build wood fire and burn down to glowing coals — 45 minutes.
Make pap: boil salted water, add mealie meal stirring. Simmer on low 30 minutes until thick.
Season meat only with coarse salt.
Grill boerewors as a coil. Cook lamb chops alongside.
Turn meat once only.
Serve with pap, tomato relish and chakalaka.
A braai is built around conversation and patience — the fire and the time are part of the ritual.
