{English follows Afrikaans}
Vir meeste Suid-Afrikaners is ‘n braaibroodjie die verpligte bygereg
waarsonder ‘n braai eenvoudig net nie voltooi is nie. En vir meeste
Suid-Afrikaner mans is die belangrikste eienskap op sy ‘trouvrou
checklist’, is dat sy ‘n bobaas braaibroodjie moet kan maak. Hulle sê nie
verniet die pad na ‘n man se hart is deur sy maag nie.
Ons almal ken die tradisionele braaibroodjie met tamatie, kaas, uie en
somtyds blatjang of konfyt. Moet my nie verkeerd verstaan nie, dit bly
lekker, maar dis tyd om bietjie te eksperimenteer met tradisionele kos, en
om die pad na jou man se hart makliker te vind.
Vier Wenke vir beter Braaibroodjies :
· Gerasperde kaas werk beter as kaas skywe, omdat dit meer eweredig sal versprei en makliker sal smelt.
· Kies meer soliede brode wat nie sal verkrummel en op die rooster uitmekaar val nie.
· Smeer botter aan beide kante van die brood, dit help om die broodjie klam te hou en ‘n aanloklike goue kleur te gee.
· Moenie vergeet om sout en varsgemaalde swartpeper by die vulsels te voeg nie.

Step up your “braaibroodjie” game
For most South-Africans a “braaibroodjie” is the compulsory side dish, without which a “braai” would be incomplete. And for most South-African men this is the most important aspect on their “dream wife checklist”, that she is able to make killer “braaibroodjie”. They do not say that the way to a man’s heart is by food, for nothing.
We are all familiar with the traditional “braaibroodjie” consisting of tomato, cheese, onions and occasionally chutney or jam. Don’t get me wrong, those types will always be delicious, but it’s time to experiment with traditional food, and to find an easier route to your man’s heart.
Four tips for better “Braaibroodjies”:
· Grated cheese works better that cheese slices, as they melt easier and more evenly.
· Choose a more solid bread that will not crumble and fall apart on the “braai”.
· Spread butter on both sides of the bread, this helps to keep the bread moist and gives it an appetising gold colour.
· Do not forget to add salt and freshly ground pepper to the filling.
