Braaied lamb ribs:
- Slice up your carrots, onions, apples, and celery and mix to a ratio of two parts onion to one-part carrots, one part apples, and one part celery, to create a *mirepoix.
- Place the ribs in a baking dish and layer the mirepoix over them. Sprinkle with thyme and cover with white wine.
- Braise in the oven for 2 hours, at 160°C.
- In a jug, mix your lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil for the basting marinade.
- Preheat your gas braai to searing hot.
- Place the lamb ribs on the braai and baste with your lemon marinade, turning occasionally.
Citrus, chargrilled cauliflower fritters:
- In a bowl or large jug, mix your basic batter: flour, eggs, baking powder, and butter. With all the spices and chopped Italian parsley.
- Light the side burner of your Megamaster gas braai and place your wok or deep pan on the flame. Fill to 5 cm deep with cooking oil.
- Place your cauliflower florets on the braai at high heat, turning them until they are lightly charred all around.
- When done, break up the cauliflower and fold it into the basic batter.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. They should cook within a few minutes. Remove them as soon as they turn golden brown.
- Drain off the excess oil.
Fennel and cabbage salad:
- Slice up the cabbage and fennel and place them in a bowl with the mustard seeds and raisins.
- Mix the vinegar, sugar, coriander, salt, and pepper in a bowl until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour over the cabbage mixture.
- Pour hot water to just cover the mixture.
- Seal and allow to stand for at least 3 hours before serving.
