      READ MORE: Try These Veggie Sosaties Even Meat Lovers Will Love

      This recipe is from Mokgadi Itsweng’s debut cookbook, Veggielicious, and it’s a cookbook worth investing in. Filled with tons of recipes that will help you eat more veggies and enjoy plant-based meals, you’re guaranteed to find some new faves.

      But now for the best part. Mokgadi uses indigenous ingredients that are often overlooked or forgotten (think: impepho in this recipe) and prioritises making affordable meals. We’re huge fans of hers and you will be too!

      READ MORE: This Braai Dessert Is So Simple Even Kids Can Make It

      The Secret SA Ingredient In This Cauliflower Recipe

      It’s Impepho, of course! “Impepho or wild sage is an indigenous African herb that is widely used by traditional healers in spiritual prayer rituals. The herb is also used as an antifungal, antiseptic and anti-anxiety medicine,” explains Itsweng.

      And seriously, Impepho adds so much flavour to any food it is smoked with. “I use a kettle braai for smoking, but you can follow the quick smoking hack that I have included in the recipe,” says Itsweng.

      3 Essentials You’ll Use In This Recipe

      Le Creuset Venus Basting Brush

      Nothing beats a good basting brush, and this one will serve you well for years to come because it’s very high quality.

      Severin Smoothie Mix & Go Blender

      We love this all-in-one smoothie maker and blender that you can use to blend red peppers for this recipe.

      Weber 37cm Smokey Joe Kettle Braai

      This kettle braai might be small but it packs a punch. So take it along for picnics, braais or camping trips.

      Course Side DishCuisine South African, Vegetarian

      Servings 6 people

      1 Kettle braai1 Saucepan1 Blender
      1 whole Cauliflower headHandful of dried impepho herb, for smoking the cauliflower1 clove Garlic, crushed¼ cup Olive oilSalt and pepper to tasteSauce2 Red peppers, left whole2 Tbsp Olive oil1 clove Garlic, crushed1 Tbsp Smoked paprika¼ cup Lemon juice1 Tbsp Brown sugarSalt and pepper to tasteHandful of fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
      Preheat the oven to 200 °C.Bring a saucepan of water with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt to a boil, then add the cauliflower head. Cook for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.Smoke the cauliflower by placing a hot charcoal disk inside a small foil container, then adding a handful of dried impepho herb. When the impepho starts smoking, place it inside a kettle braai with the cauliflower. Close the kettle braai lid and allow to smoke for at least 10-15 minutes. Remove from the kettle braai and set aside. Quick hack: Use your oven as a smoker. Place the impepho on an oven tray, light it and when it starts to smoke place the tray on the bottom rack of the oven. Then place the cauliflower on the rack directly above the impepho. Close the oven and allow to smoke for 5-10 minutes.Mix the garlic with the olive oil and brush over the whole cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until crisp on the outside.While the cauliflower is roasting, make the sauce by first roasting the peppers in the oven until the skins are blackened.Remove the peppers from the oven and place in a bowl, cover with clingwrap and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel the skins off and blend the peppers, then set aside.Heat the oil, then add the garlic and paprika, and cook for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add the blended peppers and cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously to ensure that the sauce doesn’t stick and burn.Add the lemon juice and brown sugar, cook for a further 2 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.To serve, slice the cauliflower into steaks or leave whole, then place on a platter. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and top with chopped herbs.

      The Flavourful Chicken Club Salad Recipe You Need In Your Life Right Now

      by

      Bird or bacon? No need to choose. There’s a no-membership-required policy for this club. Step right up for a feast of flavour when you try out this chicken club salad recipe.

      Best part? We know how busy you are so we’ve built in a mindful task you can do while you are cooking.

      How To Maximise Your Meal Time Prep

      A 2018 study suggested that writing about positive experiences for just 15 minutes a day, three times a week, may boost resilience and help ease feelings of anxiety and stress. Now, it’s time to embrace the power of putting pen to paper in the 20 minutes your club chicken roasts.

      Don’t know where to start? Here are some journalling prompts:

      What three ordinary things bring you the most joy?

      What is one good thing that happened to you today?

      What five personality traits are you most thankful for?

      What’s something about your health or body that you’re grateful for?

      Chicken Club Salad Recipe

      Serves 4–6

      “I like to cook this with bone-in cutlets and then, once the chicken is done and rested, I cut the bone out and slice the meat. If you find this a little daunting, just ask the butcher to debone the cutlets for you first or use thigh fillets. Thighs are forgiving; you’ll just need to reduce the cooking time as explained below.” says Lucy Tweed, author of cookbook Every Night of the Week.

      Ingredients

      1kg Chicken cutlets (thighs), bone in, or thigh fillets

      Olive oil, for brushing

      Sea salt

      150g Round pancetta, thinly sliced

      1/4 Baguette (or 1/2 small one), thinly sliced on the diagonal

      2 Avocados, peeled and cut into wedges or slices

      1/2 Iceberg lettuce, cut into thin wedges

      3 Very ripe tomatoes, sliced into thin rounds

      125ml Vinai-no-regrette

      2 Tbsp Chives, finely chopped

      Vinai-no-regrette (makes approx. 375ml):

      125ml Lemon juice

      1 Garlic clove, peeled and smashed

      2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

      2 tsp Each sugar and sea salt

      50g Parmesan, grated

      250ml Extra virgin olive oil

      Optional Ingredients:

      Fresh bread, to transform it from a salad into the stacked sandwich you love. Be sure to use thick slices of a crusty bread, like baguette.

      Method

      Preheat your oven on grill.

      Brush the cutlets or thigh fillets with oil and season with salt. Place, skin-side up, on a baking tray and grill for 5 minutes until crispy.

      Switch to oven mode and set to 180°C.

      Cook the chicken cutlets for 10 minutes (if you’re using thigh fillets, skip this bit).

      Add the pancetta, softly scrunched or folded in little clusters, to the baking tray with the chicken.

      Place the baguette slices onto the tray too (if using), allowing them to soak up the fatty juices.

      Return to the oven and roast for a further 20 minutes until the pancetta and bread are crisp and golden and the cutlets or thigh fillets are cooked through. Good time to journal.

      Remove from the oven and allow to cool to just warm.

      Cut out the bones if you used cutlets and cut each piece of chicken into about four jaunty slabs. Assemble the roasted stuff on a platter, along with the avo, lettuce and tomato. 

      Dress with the vinaigrette and scatter with chives. More
