Braai pie

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 12 minutes

Ingredients

1 roll phyllo pastry
500 g butter, melted
6 cups spinach, cooked and drained
500 g mature Cheddar cheese, grated
600 g feta cheese, crumbled
1 x 400 g chakalaka
500 g boerewors, cooked and sliced

Method

1. Prepare a braai with medium coals. Arrange a sheet of phyllo pastry on a hinged braai grid and brush with butter.

2. Add another 2 layers of pastry in the opposite direction. It’s important that it overlaps on both sides so you have enough pastry to fold over the filling.

3. Place half the spinach at the base of the pastry. Add the cheese, chakalaka and boerewors. Finish with the remaining spinach. Cover the filling with the overlapping pastry, brush with butter and close the grid.

4. When the fire is ready, brush the pastry with butter and place on the coals. Braai until the cheese has melted and the pastry is golden.
