KAROO NEWS - What's a braai without a braaibrodjie? Jan Braai shares his delicious recipe, just in time for Heritage Day:
Ingredients
- 2 red onions (sliced into rings)
- olive oil or butter
- 16 slices white bread
- soft butter (to spread over the slices)
- 300 g mozzarella cheese (grated)
- 1 small tub (200 g) black pepper-flavoured feta cheese (crumbled)
- 8 preserved green figs (chopped)
Instructions
1. Caramelise or brown the sliced onions with a bit of oil or butter in a pan or pot on the fire or stove.
2. Butter all 16 slices of bread on one side and lay eight of the slices, buttered side down, onto a large tray.
3. Grate the mozzarella cheese, drain and crumble the feta cheese and chop the green figs into small chunks.
4. Evenly distribute the caramelised onions, grated mozzarella, crumbled feta, and chopped figs between the eight laid-out slices of bread and then close with the remaining eight slices, buttered side facing outwards and upwards.
5. Put the prepared braaibroodjies into a closed hinged grid and braai over medium-hot coals, turning very regularly, until they're golden brown on the outside and the cheese has melted on the inside.
Hmm, enjoy!
