BEER FOR BREAKFAST Everyone has their go-to braai hack. Mine is a crispy potato bacon bite. I mean, who doesn’t love bacon and carbs? These little potato pops are so easy to make and quick to cook. Plus they make for a fine hangover breakfast, if you need one this festive season. INGREDIENTS 1 packet streaky bacon (I only use Be Fokte Bacon, an artisanal producer based in Cape Town) 1 packet frozen potato croquettes (If you’re getting the kids involved use the potato smiley faces to make it more fun) Toothpicks Braaidsmaid Sticky Ribs Marinade (or any other braai marinade of your choice) BEER MEETS FOOD Nobody thinks twice about pouring a glass of bubbly or ordering a mimosa for breakfast, but somehow if you crack a beer, eyebrows are raised. We wanted to shine a light on the best beers to drink in the morning and we asked braai queen Tenille Swanepoel to come up with a duo of dishes to go with our breakfast beer picks.
