THE SIDES
What would a braai be without a
variety of delicious side dishes? Olive
Twist is a Salt Rock-based professional
catering company run by the
wonderful owner, Ros Ivey. A talented
chef and lover of all-things-delicious,
Ros and her team have catered for all
types of events around the province
and country ... from understated rustic
to trendy retro and chic elegance.
They do all sorts of events, weddings,
corporate lunches and intimate athome
celebrations and also have a
range of frozen meals, awesome kraft
food boxes and homemade relishes!
“Everyone loves a braai,” says Ros. “So
often on the weekend we can ‘smell
a braai’ in the air and, well, any excuse
for a South African to light a fire! Our
take on the menu was to include
some SA favourites … but with our
twist to each dish!”
Ros served up these yummy dishes:
Corn, Chive & Smoked Paprika Bread
with Jalapeño Butter; Charred Kidney
Bean, Tomato and Coriander salad
with homemade Chive and Lemon
vinaigrette; Parmesan Crust and Herb
Potato Bake with a twist and Tomato
Salsa (on everything) and Salsa Verde
(for the meat).
