WINE PAIRING: Darling Cellars Chocoholic Pinotage 2020
There is no problem too big that cannot be solved with a braai. To braai is to be South African and this is what inspired my recipe.
This salad is made by using leftover meat from the weekend’s braai. I added vegetables like healthy cabbage and carrots that are easily found from street vendors or local supermarkets. The indigenous hero is Dune Sage, which has a pungent smell and strong, bitter, peppery flavour. The stock from cooking the lamb was also used to cook the vegetables as well as for the dressing, so very little gets wasted.
Not only does the recipe provide a nutritional punch, it is a balanced meal made using sustainable ingredients that are environmentally friendly.
