Pork Neck Steaks – deliciously tender!
Posted on January 4, 2018 by nerinatimm in pork
Pork Neck Steaks, my favorite cut of pork. Of course other than a deliciously crispy pork belly, but pork belly does not work so well on the grill or braai, unless you make Pork Belly Kebabs. Pork Neck Steaks on the other hand, always delivers on taste and they are always tender. You can find […]

Lipsmacking Lamb ribs made with my all purpose spice mix, definitely a winner every time. Eating these Lipsmacking Lamb Ribs, you need little more than a wedge of lemon and a warm cloth (jammer lappie) to get the dripping fat off your face and hands.

Pork Twisters for an interesting twist on National Braai Day 2016
Posted on September 21, 2016 by nerinatimm in pork
Pork Twisters all sticky and sweet is my contribution to National Braai Day 2016. We love pork twisters – they are different, not fussy at all to make and they are rather funky and different. Of course I love a good chop and a delicious mature rib-eye. I would even settle for a good burger […]

Grilled Corn, dripping with butter, mmmm! Must be one of my favorite things to enjoy at a braai or barbeque. I love the sweet butter crunch as I bite into it and the smoky flavor is very hard to beat. Grilled corn can be a bit messy to eat so we keep it for family […]

Roosterkoek is literally pieces of bread dough that has […]

Dried fruit chutney on smokey pork ribs is on my menu tonight and I must confess it has been on our menu quite a few times since the braai season started! Dried fruit is so often associated with winter, yet even in the midst of summer, it is hard to imagine Christmas without the joys […]
