Hello #LoyalRoyals

Not so long ago, a braai wasn’t considered a braai without the meat. Today, these juicy giant mushrooms braaied to perfection, with generous bastings of our vegan-friendly Pesto Princess Basil & Lemon Pesto, make lighting that fire and chilling those beers so worth it.

Got any other plant-based, braai-loving recipes to share with us?

How to

1. Thread the mushrooms carefully onto your skewers.

4. Place the halved lemons, cut side down, on the braai while the mushrooms cook.

Serve with the halved lemons, a drizzle of olive oil and a seasoning of salt and pepper.
