Braai/Barbeque to wow your friends

I am going to do this a set of recipes, if you are looking for a colourful, less expensive option that will make you the envy of your friends, take some of these easy tips and turn your braai or barbeque into the talk of the town (even your friends on diet will easily enjoy some of these).


Sweet Potatoes

This is a little known vegetable that is not only delicious, sweet and colourful but also healthy and listed on most diet food lists (recommended to replace potato which has way more starch content).

Ingredients:

Sweet potatoes (1/2 a potato per person)
Margarine
Salt
Garlic (optional)
Tin foil

Method:

Place the potatoes into a sink of hot water. Scrub them thoroughly to remove all sand from the skin. Place onto a cutting board and chop in half. (A full one will be too much for 1 person) Stab the potatoes on all sides using a sharp knife. Tear tinfoil to size of potatoes. Place a little margarine on each potato, sprinkle with salt (and optional garlic) and wrap in tinfoil (shiny side inside). Place on outer edge of the fire, under the grid. Turn occasionally. Remove when you have finished cooking the meat.

I normally don't use garlic here as we have garlic bread with our barbeques (recipe to follow)
