V.D.M. Curried Mince Braaibroodjie

Ingredients

• 8 slices white bread
• Butter, for the outside
• 400 g beef mince
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1–2 tablespoons BlixSam Bazaar Kerrie
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 60 ml water
• Salt, if needed
• 200 g cheddar cheese, grated
• 4–6 tablespoons V.D.M. Under Fire Red Jalapeño Sauce

Method

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion until soft.
2. Add the beef mince and fry over medium-high heat until nicely browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
3. Add Bazaar Kerrie and stir through the mince. Fry for about 30 seconds to allow the spice to bloom in the oil.
4. Stir in the tomato paste and water. Simmer until the mince is rich and thick with very little liquid remaining. Allow it to cool slightly.
5. Lightly butter the outside of each slice of bread.
6. Place four slices butter-side down and add a layer of cheddar.
7. Spoon the curried mince generously over the cheese.
8. Drizzle V.D.M. Red Jalapeño Sauce over the mince.
9. Add another generous layer of cheddar and close with the remaining bread, butter-side facing out.
10. Place in a braai grid and braai slowly over medium coals, turning regularly until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted.
11. Rest for a minute, slice diagonally and serve piping hot.
