Traditional South African Braai

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the marinade by finely chopping the garlic and herbs, then mixing them with vinegar and oil in a bowl.

2. 2

   Place the steak, sausages, and chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let them marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. Remove the meats from the marinade and season with salt.

4. 4

   Grill the meats to your desired level of doneness, turning occasionally. Steak and chicken thighs may take longer to cook than sausages, so plan accordingly.

5. 5

   While the meats are grilling, prepare the pap. Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot and add a teaspoon of salt.

6. 6

   Gradually pour the maize meal into the boiling water while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

7. 7

   Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pap is thick and smooth (about 30 minutes).

8. 8

   Once the pap is cooked, stir in the butter until it is fully incorporated and the pap has a creamy texture.

9. 9

   Serve the grilled meats with the pap on the side. Enjoy your traditional South African Braai with friends and family.
