While load shedding seems to have been put on the backburner (for now), it’s something that we as South Africans have had to come to terms with. With no real solution in sight, there’s no telling when the next phase could hit. In true South African style, we’ve turned to our Webers to comfort us during this dark time. Here are seven easy recipes that don’t require electricity, so don your apron, and let’s braai.
1. Quick And Easy Beef Gorgonzola Burgers Recipe
As the name suggests, this recipe takes no longer than 20 minutes to make, so it can easily serve as a midweek evening meal. Although it asks for the patties to be finished in the oven, the entire recipe can be done on the braai, so there’s no need to go hungry while the electricity is out.
