      Tips For a Good Braai/Barbeque



      • Use Fresh  and not frozen meat as this ensures that your meat remains juicy
      • Always marinate your meat at least 8 hours before your braai or overnight
      • Seal the marinated meat by vacuum, air tight container or plastic seal bags as this helps to tenderize the meat
      • Pack and stack meat tightly and flat as to allow for the least amount of air between cuts/chops
      • Place marinated meat in a fridge not freezer
      • Don't braai over very hot coals and ensure that your grill is at least 10 cm away from the coals
      • Periodically turn your meat so that your meat gets done evenly without it getting burnt
      • Ensure that you have water to spray on any fire that may start from dripping fat
      • Spray water lightly without killing the coals
      • Try yo use little or no tomato sauce in your marinade as the sugar content in the sauce tends to caramelize and will add some burnt spots on your meat 
      • Chicken should be grilled last when the coals has lost most of its redness and should be basted as it dries.

      • 4 cups powdered sugar, more for a stiffer frosting, sifted if lumpy (add more or less depending on desired consistency)
      • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
      • salt to taste (salt balances the sweetness)

      Cake Method:

      In a medium bowl, combine the grated carrots with the brown sugar. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes to let the carrots soften and release some moisture.

      Preheat the oven to 180°C .

      Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.(can also use an oven tray)

      In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, white sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

      In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

      Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

      Gently fold in 1/2 cup of pecans into the batter.

      Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

      Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

      Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
