Kerrygold Moments

National Braai Day is almost here and our taste buds are all fired up in anticipation! The thought of sizzling braai meat is enough to make any tummy rumble, let alone all the mouth-watering dishes that get served on the side. Whether you’re keen for chicken or would prefer to drop a chop, these tasty side dishes will work well on any plate and are sure to win everyone over!

1. Warm Potato Salad with Peas, Radishes and Mint

Forego the heavy mayonnaise-based potato salad and opt for this fresh and flavourful alternative instead. In addition to the sublime combination of baby potatoes with fresh mint, radishes and peas, this side dish boasts a tangy lemon and butter dressing which brings all the ingredients together wonderfully!

2. Grilled Sweetcorn

Few things compare to freshly braaied sweetcorn sprinkled with salt and pepper, except if you had to drizzle this flavoursome rosemary and maple syrup flavoured Kerrygold butter on top! This is possibly the easiest and most delicious side you could make in a limited amount of time – it’ll be ready to eat in all of 10-15 minutes.

3. Easy Broccoli Salad with Bacon and Cheese

A homemade broccoli salad is one of the best salads to serve at a braai and this version is so tasty and so simple that you’ll never go back to store-bought salads again! The dressing is rich and creamy without being overly heavy, allowing the flavour of the individual ingredients to still shine through. Get the recipe here.

4. Potato Jackets

Potato jackets are quite popular in Ireland and it’s easy to see why – they’re simple, affordable and incredibly flavourful! They’re also quite filling and can therefore stand as the only side on a plate, especially when they’re filled to the brim with ingredients. Dollops of Kerrygold butter and grated Kerrygold cheese are a must with these stuffed potato jackets.

5. Braaibroodjies

What’s a braai without a braaibroodjie? And what’s a braaibroodjie without Kerrygold Dubliner, our fabulous melting cheese. The best broodjies are also buttered on the outside for that sought-after crispy texture and golden colour. There’s just something about these delicious morsels that keeps everyone coming back for more, so grab all your favourite ingredients, assemble and enjoy!

6. BBQ Sauce

Because no braai is complete without a selection of sauces. We love how this BBQ sauce recipe is free of unhealthy oils and made with Kerrygold butter instead. It’s got the perfect combination of tangy, sweet, smoky, and spicy; and also includes four different variations so you can customise the sauce according to your taste preferences.
