Healthy braai options

[Devill]

Can you guys suggest anything?

 

[Captain Beer]

Drink Castle Light instead

 

[Vegeta]

Steak, Chops, wors, chicken, potato salad, chees and onion broodjie, Castle Lite... if you dont have all of these dont braai use a microwave!

 

[McSack]

Braai-ing is a healthy option ... finish en klaar

 

[wrathex]

Braai less lamb and boerewors (the two most cholesterol rich), or trimmed chops, otherwise braai steak, kepabs with veggies, chicken and (if not halaal/kosher) pork. (or a fish)
Instead of eating braaibroodjies, eat a green salad with the braai and wholewheat rolls or eat mielies.

Tinfoil on coals: potatoes, peppers, butternut, onions, mushrooms, garlic)

Not sure exactly what you mean by healthier braaing though.

Reduce the meat proportion and increase the salad proportions.

Watch the coals burning, until they burn themselves out. You can't eat healthier than that. It's called fasting.

I am use to braaing marinated steak. Maybe some sosaties. Some braai bread etc etc.

I am thinking of braaing ostrich medallions that was brushed with olive oil and then just adding spices. The mushrooms in tin foil idea is also very appealing.

But alas I will need to eat at least one braai broodjie (I will make it with low fat cheese )

Just a piece of fillet and a tossed salad Also, my SO is vegetarian, so we do "foil pouches" with veges - just chopped up veges with a cook-in sauce.

 

[Vegeta]

I just want to clear something up. Its not Castle "Light" its Castle Lite
Its not light in alcohol, same as other beer... which is great!!!!!
Its lighter in fat making crap... which is double win!! All the drunk singing none of the beer belly!!

Salad is for moffies. Just gooi a lakka steak and lakka wors on the braai bru.

You do know why castle lite want you to enjoy their beer "ice cold" right?

 

[Picard]

Braai on a stainless steel 'rooster' and wash it afterwards.

The crap that accumulates on the old steel ones, which you have to burn clean, is nigh toxic.

 

[Ancalagon]

This is precisely the wrong thread for me to read at lunch time on a Friday.

 

[czc]

Braai on wood rather than briquettes if you must braai on briquettes let all of the chemicals burn out first. I notice some people gooi meat on the braai while the briquettes are still smoking.

1.Doen so bietjie moeite met jou aankoop van jou vleis. 'n Braai is 'n ernstige ding, benader dus jou aankope ook so. In die ou dae was jou slagter
amper familie. Jy het hom immers meer gesien as jou dokter. Deesdae is dinge soveel makliker en onpersoonlik. Rakke het gesigte vervang met die gevolg dat die jonger geslag onbekend geraak het oor wat nou eintlik goeie vleis is. As 'n ding goed verpak is dan lyk hy mos gaaf genoeg om te braai. *** man! So, as jy nie vleis ken nie, vra jou slagter.

2.Daar is nie 'n ding soos 'n te warm vuur nie. Dikker snitte vir braai!
Dun steak is altyd taai en proe ***.

3. Steaks is medium-rare en miskien selfs medium. As jy van jou vleis 'well-done' hou - gebruik 'n blow torch en hou jou vleis van 'n braaier af.
Hardloop dan ook sommer in 'n muur vas. Herhaaldelik! Rare is net vir persone wat die smaak van vleis opreg waardeer!

4. 'n Steak sonder vet is nie 'n steak nie.( Fillet het geen vet nie ).
Fillet is vir bejaarde mense. Tenderised steak hoort op die Kerkbasaar se steakrolls. Nie op 'n vuur nie!

5. Wors moet nog kan buig as hy afgehaal word - dit moet nie breek nie. Wors word ook nie vol gate gesteek nie, kry vir jou iets anders om te steek.

6.As jy nie kan braai nie, moenie! Jy *** net jou gaste rond.

7. Vleis word van die rooster of die plaat af opgeskep - nie uit 'n lou-oond uit nie.

8. Uitpass voor die ete is uit soos boknaai ! Dit is moerse ongeskik en 'n aanduiding dat jy *** gewoontes het.

9.As jy self jou vleis wil braai want jy vertrou nie die braaier nie, of as jy net doodeenvoudig vol *** is, praat voor die tyd of shut up!

10. As jy 'n ander persoon die braaireg by jou huis gee dan swaai hy die septer.

11. As jy met hout wil vuurmaak, koop ordentlike hout. Gebruik slegs as daar genoeg vuuraanstekers is want om die ding aan die gang te kry kos hitte.
Baie hitte. Die rook van 'n sukkelende vuur is 'n steurnis. 'Smokey Robinson' word nie hier geduld nie.. As jy kan braai en nie 'n ordentlike
vuur kan maak nie, dan lieg jy.

12.. Komplimenteer die braaier as die vleis gaaf is. Indien nie, sê so! Hoe de *** anders moet hy leer?

13.Een slaai by 'n braai is genoeg.

14. Hou jou stompies uit 'n braaivuur uit! Jou *** gewoonte hoort by jou huis!

15. Met rugby steek jy die vuur tydens halftyd aan.

16. Hoender eet jy met die hand. Tjops ook. Steak en wors, met 'n mes envurk.

17.As jy jou pap saam met 'n braai met melk en suiker eet, is jy wanaangepas en skreeu jy seker vir die Leeus. Vra almal by die braai om jou teen jou kop te klap, maar dit sal seker ook nie eers help nie.

18. Politiek, godsdiens en baba praatjies is uit om 'n braaivleisvuur..
Rugby , jag, 4x4 bakkies en die buurvrou se tan-lyne is die norm. Visvang stories word eers gepraat as almal gesuip is, want dan kan die wat nie visvang nie saam *** praat.

19. Vleis moet gereeld omgedraai word, nie halfpad aan die eenkant gaar gebrand word en dan omgedraai word nie. Draai kort kort jou vleis.

20. Vleisbraai is nie net 'n geleentheid om te staan en drink nie. *** weet hoekom nie, maar baie moeite word gedoen met die voorbereiding en die gaste wil graag 'n lekker stukkie vleis geniet .

21. ....... en so terloops, almal wat 8 uur die aand wil eet, moet eerder by julle eie huis ***ken bly, daar is nie 'n tyd om te eet vir 'n braaivleis nie, eet as die ***ken vleis gaar is !

I agree mostly
