Method

Ingredients

1. Oil and season the chops. Braai the chops until nicely browned outside but still rosy-rare inside.

2. To make the bean mash, roughly blend the hot cooked beans with a hand-held electric stick blender, gradually adding ¼-½ cup olive oil. Stir in the crushed garlic and season to taste. If it’s too thick, thin down with water stock or more oil.

TASTE's take: TASTE’s consultant food editor, Phillippa Cheifitz, spends weekdays in Cape Town and weekends in Paternoster on the West Coast, where top-quality ingredients offer her inspiration for laidback lunches, braais, picnics and dinners, featured in Lazy Days – Easy Summer Cooking.
