My dad knew a guy who was at a braai and he dished up some salad... on his way home he had a car smash and died. DO NOT EAT SALAD!

For healthy braai action consider braaing fish. A large Yellowtail will feed eight adult easily.

Also consider getting a big piece of fillet, marinade, braai and baste baste baste then slice to desired thickness, serve with potato salad.

Drank Castle... like Lite more now. Taste is lekka krisp.
And the marketing is awesome, i like it when companies make their products exciting.
 
veg kebabs (shrooms, peppers, cocktail tomatoes, red onions) brushed with olive oil mixed with dried herbs and maybe peri-peri powder for bit of a kick. Greens are for rabbits.

I am thinking of braaing ostrich medallions that was brushed with olive oil and then just adding spices.

Best advice for OP so far. I'd lose the olive oil though...apparently one is not supposed to heat it. Rather use canolla oil...might change the flavour though.
 
OMG, this so limp wristed. If you bring chicken to my braai I will shoot you :p

You can have anything you like in moderation that supposedly bad for you. Should have seen the block of butter that went into my prawns tonight :D

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.

What the hell, thats no a braai then!!!
 
Steak, dik plaaswors, sosaties (here you can choose some chicken), cheese/tomato/onion sarmies (once the meat is done you put these on the braai), lamb tjoppies (lekker starters eaten off the braai), dik pork tjops (with fat and rind).

No salads, no chicken borsies or drumsticks or wings (not even my dogs eat those!).

No briquettes - use all wood, keep it real!!!!

EDIT: make enough for 3 meals...

Thats what they want you to believe!!! Dont!

Isn't Windhoek now owned by the same guys bringing in that Heiniken crap... sell outs
 
Really good one on the braai is tuna. Dip in black pepper and fresh origanum, season with salt - braai till rare and serve with grilled veg on the braai. Sesame seeds might work too but I've always been worried about them burning on the braai. Grilled veg on the braai is awesome - just stick them on sosaties and cut so that they all cook at the same time. You can also marinade your veg sosaties...

I had tuna steaks from the braai at a mates place 3 weeks back and did not enjoy it that much. Snoek & some other fish however can be lekka.
 
Castle lite is very good.
Steak is very good.
Ribs are very good.
Chicken is very good.
Chops are very good.
Sausage is very good.
Potatoes are very good.

AND YOU CANT HAVE A BRAAI WITHOUT BILLTONG AND DRIED WORS! (Home made is the best)

My whole life i have been on a protien and potatoes/carbohydrates diet.
 
how do you guys braai potato's? does it have to be boiled first then put on the braai? and what are good spices to put on the potato?
