We braai most nights, and there is always wors on the menu with either thick juicy beef steak, texan pork steaks, sosasties, or ribs.

Some nights we go traditional with pap and sous, and sometimes we do mealies and/or baked potatoes and/or baked butternut in the fire. Although Poms, we never do salad!!

We usually have one meal in a restaurant to ring the changes.

In December I had been reading the potjie thread so tried a "pretend" potjie, cooked on the hotplate in one of the cast iron pots provided by SANparks in the self catering units. It was lekker, even though not an authentic potjie!! Put mushrooms in the bottom of the pot as they don't ever seem to burn!!!

On our first night we usually take a tub of chicken livers and marinate them for a hour or two in some wine or port, wrap bacon around them and braai them on sosatie sticks over the coals until crispy to “line the stomach” for a sundowner or two

We also mostly braai and another favorite is to bake whole onions (in foil) in coals as well as sweet potato, especially the yellow ones.

On our last visit I prepared roast vegetables in tinfoil roasting tin roasted it until half done at home and then finished it off in Kruger on the coals.

For our October visit my Son and Daughter-Law will be joining us. She is now a vegetarian and I desperately need some vegetarian dishes that is easy to prepare on the braai. Any suggestions?
