Crayfish on the braai in Cape Town
21 February 2011 in Uncategorized
Cape Town was wonderful, the indaba was so much fun and our hosts were marvelous. I will write more about it all later in the week, I am exhausted and my liver is knackered!
These crays were basted with a simple garlic butter sauce, then it was 10 minutes with the shell-side down, turn and cook for another 2 minutes. They were beautifully done, succulent and my mouth is watering as I type.
I wonder if you can guess who our hostess was?

Hello Sue, fellow Martizburg gal.
Was lovely to meet you on Sunday. I can tell you, you’re going to love that prize- I’ve been for one this year(may add blog to 24) and am putting pennies together to go again.
And the crayfish look amazing!

As usual, I can’t see the pics, so I can just imagine what the crayfish looks like.
Have a good one!

This is Maddad. Madmom refuses to comment on your post due to an extreme fit of jealousy.
She had a little wobbly over the crayfish and the fun she says ‘that lot’ had in CT.
Oh, and also over ‘another’ prize ‘that woman wot drinks out of vases’ won again.

btw – Off topic – do you know any local crafters who might be able to do some teaching in Dozy Dale in Batty’s good cause?
