Nothing says summer is on its way like making braai plans. And what could be more South African than adding some home-grown lamb to the grid? If you’re looking for inspiration, look no further because Clem Pedro recently got his hands on some flavourful lamb and had what can only be described as loads of fun around the coals.

If you’ve been meaning to try your hand at a potjie, here's your chance. Clem uses pre-seasoned lamb knuckles from Woolies and turns them into a simple but spectacular potjie, which he serves with creamy Parmesan samp and beans.

Rich, tender and deeply flavourful, the secret to this potjie is Woolworths’ free-range lamb shanks and knuckles. Served with creamy Parmesan samp and beans, it’s a total crowdpleaser.

You know why we want lamb bones in the potjie, right? Because the bones release a rich, deep flavour into the broth. And because you’re cooking the knuckles for quite some time, the meat has time to become meltingly soft.

Then, for something with a bit of flair, you're definitely going to want to try Clem’s way with Woolies’ marinated lamb espetadas.

Made with deboned lamb (which means the meat is about as soft as you can get), the espetada is seasoned in a delicious marinade with a clean, fresh flavour profile. Aside from grilling it according to the package instructions, there’s really not much for you to worry about.

Serve it, as Clem does, with Woolies' amagwinya and tzatziki and add a quick carrot pickle and you’ve got all the makings of an unforgettable feast.
