‘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 />

Her braaibroodjie<br />
is a combination of<br />
braai’ed bacon bits<br />
with tangy mayo<br />
and basil pesto.<br />
