Barbeque conjures up images of meat sizzling and smoking over a hot fire - beef steaks, spare ribs, lamb chops etc etc, the list is endless.
Here in South Africa with our mild climate, any excuse is used to have a BBQ or a Braai as we call it. So last week when we took a breakaway with friends down the south coast of Kwazulu Natal, the fires were lit daily on our balcony.
Besides listening to the waves breaking on the sea-shore, there is nothing as relaxing as sitting next to a crackling fire on a cold winter's night.
Braai Broodjie (Afrikaans term for BBQ Toasted Sandwich) popped up for our lunch menu, and I thought of sharing it here with @jaybird and all his Sandwiteers for SSC Week 51.
Delicious smoky toasted sandwich requiring simple ingredients:
- Soy & Linseed Bread
- Red Onions - diced
- Tomatoes - sliced thickly
- Mature Cheddar Cheese
- Butter
- Wet String
- Hot coals
- Good friends
- Good weather
Weber Braai (BBQ) waiting to be used - the sun is out and the ocean is peeking at us in the distance but we need to eat.
Bread is buttered on one side - this will be the outside of our braai broodjie.
First layer on our braai broodjie is a generous amount of strong mature Cheddar Cheese.
Thick slices of sweet Tomatoes with a Herb seasoning goes on next.
Diced red Onions on top of that.
And some more cheese.
Wet some string and use to make a sandwich parcel and it's ready to be toasted over the hot coals, fillings safe and secure with the help of the string.
This toasts real fast so before you know it, lunch will be ready.
Cut your parcel open and enjoy :)
