Thursday, 24th of September is officially National Braai Day, or otherwise known as Heritage Day, so we spoke to Ironman Champion, Kyle Buckingham on how to really get into the spirit of Braai Day whilst being a veggie!
MEAT FREE CHICKEN-STYLE BRAAI PIE
INGREDIENTS
– Fry’s Meat Free Chicken-Style Strips
– ¼ cup Vegan mayonnaise
– ½ onion, chopped
– 2 garlic cloves, crushed
– ½ red/ yellow pepper, diced
– Coriander, chopped
– 1 packet puff pastry, defrosted

METHOD

+ Take defrosted puff pastry and divide into 2 pieces – one for the base and the other for a lid.
+ Add mix to the puff pastry base.
+ Place second pastry on top and pinch the edges tight so when it’s on the braai no juices spill out.
+ Brush with whisked egg all over.
+ Make sure your braai heat is a medium to low heat and your coals or wood are evenly distributed so it cooks all over.
