Braai Menu Ideas for a Crowd
A braai menu for a crowd works from one centrepiece and a short list of sides: a whole lamb or pig on the spit, garlic potatoes and rolls, two salads and pap with gravy. One spit replaces batches of chops and boerewors on a grid, so the meal is ready at one time. The salads themselves, with quantities per guest, are in braai salads.
