‘Lekke’... Braaibroodjies<br />

At the heart of many South African homes, you’ll always find a good braai and, of course, a<br />

“lekker braaibroodjie”! We’ve asked some of our favourite locals to share their recipes,<br />

indicating how they glorify this South African favourite.<br />

Risna Opperman<br />

the owner of Urth,<br />

Restaurant, Deli<br />

and Conferences.<br />

Her braaibroodjie<br />

is a combination of<br />

braai’ed bacon bits<br />

with tangy mayo<br />

and basil pesto.<br />

“It’s simply<br />

sensation in the<br />
