Watermelon, feta, olive & basil salad – and a BBQ event!

by Jeanne Horak on August 22, 2011 26 Comments in Forever Nigella, Gluten-free, Salads, Vegetarian

WatermelonSaladTitle

People often ask me “so what is the difference between an English BBQ and a South African braai?” They both involve the cooking of meat outdoors over an open fire, and yes you can make an argument that the type of meat you cook is the distinguishing feature (because pork sausages and burgers will never feature at a proper South African braai!).  But I think the real distinction lies not in the menu but in the attitude.  A barbecue probably will be rescheduled if it rains – a braai probably will not. (My husband braaied in the snow one year in January.  Fact.) A barbecue will usually feature enough meat to feed all the invited guests.  A braai will feature enough meat to feed the entire postcode, plus some extra (just in case!).  A barbecue will probably involve a sensible number of guests so that there will be enough proper plates and cutlery for everybody.  A braai, on the other hand, expands to accept family, friends, kids, hangers-on, and possibly pets of invited guests. (At our Big South African Braai last weekend we had 21 adults and 3 kids.  Paper plates were in use, clearly.)

So what goes on at a Big South African Braai in London?  Come and have a peek how ours went down last weekend:

Firstly, there were people here, people there, people EVERYWHERE!

And then there was a whole lot of lip-smacking eating…

Can there be a better way to spend a summer afternoon?

Sadly, I can’t invite ALL of you over to my house for a braai, but I can invite you to join me in celebrating South Africa’s National Braai Day again this year with my annual braai/BBQ event Braai, the Beloved Country – please scroll down below the recipe to see how to enter! 

FOrever-Nigella-8 But… man cannot live by barbecued meat alone.  He shall also have… salads!  Last
weekend we served guests a big green salad; a spinach, roasted butternut squash, feta cheese and pine nut salad; and something I’ve been meaning to tackle for ages and ages: a watermelon and feta cheese salad.   When I initally heard of this salad, I thought it sounded like a totally ridiculous mishmash for the sake of novelty; but eventually it developed into an obsession – something I had to make. I first saw it as a recipe in Nigella Lawson’s Forever Summer, which is why I am submitting it to Helen of Fuss Free Flavours who is the host this month’s pinic-themed Forever Nigella event, founded by the lovely Sarah of Maison Cupcake.  Nigella’s version calls for red onion (which I forgot to buy – eek!) and uses lime juice instead of vinegar in the dressing, but otherwise this is pretty faithful to her recipe.  Do suspend your disbelief and try it.  Many of my guests were slightly suspicious but were hooked after the first bite, and it was the first of the three salads to be polished off!  You’ll have to take my word for the fact that the combination of flavours and textures is quite heavenly – but you can see for yourselves how gorgeous it is 🙂

 

Other bloggers being creative with watermelon include:

  • Barbara’s watermelon salsa
  • Margot’s watermelon, lime and rosemary drink
  • Courtney’s watermelon rind preserves

 

 

 

WatermelonSaladFinal

WATERMELON, FETA CHEESE, BLACK OLIVE AND BASIL SALAD (serves 10)

Ingredients:

Small ripe watermelon (1.5-2kg)
250g feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
200g pitted black olives, sliced
4.5 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons raspberry vinegar (or other sweet fruity vinegar – not balsamic!)
Black pepper

Method

Cut the watremelon flesh into bite-sized chunks (I removed most of the seeds but this is up to you).  In a large bowl, toss together the watermelon, feta, olives and basil.  Whisk together the oil and vinegar and pour over the salad just before serving, tossing to coat everything.  Add black pepper to taste.

 

And now, on to how you can enter Braai the Beloved Country! I would love for you to share your favourite braai or BBQ recipes with me – it can be meat, fish, vegetables, breads, stews – in fact anything that you can cook over an outdoor fire or grill, South African inspired or not.  Then on 24 September, I will post a round-up of all the recipes in a big celebration of summery outdoor cooking.  And as it’s an annual event, I will even let you submit favourite recipes you have posted previously in 2011 – as long as you repost them as a new post between now and the end of September 2011.

 

BTBL logo

So let’s fire up the grill and have a look at the rules:

1. Post a braai/barbecue recipe between now and 23 September.  Your choice of recipes is really broad – meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, breads – as long as you cooked it over coals or an outdoor grill.

2. You must link to this announcement in your post.

3.  Multiple recipes and recipes submitted to other events are permitted.

4.  Recipes from your 2011 archives can be accepted but you MUST re-post them in a new post dated between 22 August and 23 September 2011, and link to this announcement.

5.  Use of the Braai, the Beloved Country logo is optional but would be nice.  Ask me if you want code for a badge in your sidebar.

6.  A photo is preferred, but not essential.

7.  Send me an e-mail (emailcooksister AT gmail DOT com) with BRAAI in the subject line and containing: your name; your blog name; the recipe title; and the URL of the post that the recipe appeared in.  Attach a photo if you can.

I will post a roundup of all the recipes on 24 September to coincide with National Braai Day.


More deliciousness for you!

    I really need some one to invite me to South African Braai. Please? Please? I’ll do the dishes after wards 😛 ha ha Thank you for enlightening me on the differences. Feta, olive, water melon – my all time favorite salad ingredients. But fruity vinegar? should try that!

    Very interesting looking salad. At a braai we normally have either potato, carrot or greek salad. Saw an interesting discussion on the “WegSleep” Facebook page the other day. The question was, “Do you make vegetables when you camp?” Most people say that they mainly braai and do potjie when they camp, while one guy said that Beef and lamb are meat and chicken and pork are vegetables.

    Yes – THATS what I call a braai, lots of people, lots of meat, salads, cold wine, cold beer….its not so much a barbeque – more a way of life!
    I am always amazed at how Nigella keeps getting credited for recipes that were around whilst she was still a journalist who never boiled an egg. I first had this salad in Plett at least 6-7 years ago, and a friend who was with me said she’d had it some time before that. It is delicious, but should not be made too long in advance as it has a tendency to become watery from the fruit.

    The paper plates! Thank the Lord for them. Your braai looks like it was so much of fun – what a lovely garden you have. In london, nogal.What a cool idea re Braai the Beloved Country…now, we *still* need to get a new grill and we’re in business. The old one (read cheapie fake webber since husb left his real deal one in Holland), FLEW off the roof of a friend’s balcony in Sea Point. Said friend, did not replace. Thankfully. Now to get a real one.
    Love the salad- bet the olives add wonderful contrast of flavour.

    I’m a new visitor to your blog so I am not really sure what is allowed and what not so excuse me if I am overstepping the line. In the spirit of interesting salads I would like to share with you a recipe that my sister gave me of an equally strange and suprisingly refresing salad a few summers ago and it is just as great with a braai. And really easy. Mix together 1 medium papaya (cubed), one punnet of strawberries (quatered), 100g feta (crumbed) and 60g chopped pistachios. For the dressing mix together 125ml sweet chilli sause and 15ml lemon juice and dress salad gently. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    The first time I made that salad for people I got the same quizzical looks to start- and then everyone just kept eating it. Last time we even put a couple of the slices of watermelon on the bbq before adding- it made for some interesting textures.

Are you a cook... or a baker? 
I fall firmly into the "cook" category. Baking is too precise, too fiddly - and best left to those with an affinity for it, I always say! But every now and then, only a cake will do. Say, for example... when you celebrate your blog's SIXTEENTH birthday!! 🎉🍾 Yes, last month Cooksister.com turned sweet sixteen, and to celebrate I baked this sticky spiced plum upside down cake. It's a very forgiving recipe and it's worth every single calorie 😁.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappoint
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Anybody else got Lockdown Itchy Feet Syndrome...?? If it isn't an official disorder,  it certainly should be!

I have always been a dreamer, a planner, an explorer. Few things excite me more than stepping onto the soil of a country I have not visited before. When I am going through tough personal times, my go-to self-help therapy has always been to arrange a trip - to throw off the metaphorical bow lines and sail away to a new adventure. 
But then... Corona 😞  I can honestly say that I am enjoying working from home; enjoying having the time to run every day; enjoying cooking proper meals; enjoying my own company; enjoying the lack of FOMO. But OH MAN, I miss travel. 
This image was taken 2 years ago in St George's, Grenada - my first visit to the Caribbean but  certainly not my last. This photo has me dreaming of the day I can throw off those bow lines and travel again... How are you dealing with the lack of travel during this time?

Am I the only one feeling faintly sad at all the S
Am I the only one feeling faintly sad at all the Spring bulbs that were planted last year that have been flowering in parks and public gardens with nobody (or fewer people, anyway...) around to admire them? Spare a thought for the gardeners at Holland's famous Keukenhof who planted SEVEN MILLION bulbs last winter in preparation for the garden's annual 2-month opening... but because of Covid-19 Keukenhof did not open at all in 2020. 
But the good news is that for the first time in its history, Keukenhof was virtually open this year, meaning you can enjoy the best of the Spring flowers virtually, from the comfort of your armchair.  Keukenhof posted an amazing series of videos to their YouTube channel featuring magnificent 360 degree tours of the 2020 flowering bulbs; a run-down of the best photo spots; talks by various Keukenhof gardeners; and even a visit from Spongebob Squarepants!  You can check out their YouTube channel here https://bit.ly/2WWkahW. Or you can visit my blog  https://bit.ly/2zMgrLL  to see more of my Keukenhof images like this one of a river of tulips from when I visited a few years ago.

Have you visited Keukenhof?  What were your favourite Spring flowers? ⚘⚘⚘

When people tell me they don't like Brussels spro
When  people tell me they don't like Brussels sprouts, my inner voice always cries out the same response: oh honey, you're just doing it wrong! Sesame ginger sprouts are nutty, zingy and delicious - the opposite of the overcooked grey stinky sprouts of your youth, and so easy to make! 🔖 Remember to save this post so you can make the recipe later! The recipe is also on my blog - click the live link in my profile. 
For 4 people you need:
500 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and cooked (I roast mine in a hot oven)
1 x 2cm piece of ginger cut into fine matchsticks
2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
1 Tbsp canola oil
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
Salt & pepper 
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the ginger till fragrant. Add the sprouts, mix well and heat through. Remove from heat, add the sesame oil, season and serve topped with toasted sesame seeds.

Did you know that 6 February is Waitangi Day, the national day of New Zealand? .

I am marking the occasion with this photo was taken just over 3 years ago on the shores of beautiful Lake Pukaki on the South Island, looking across at Mt Aoraki.  I loved my visit and planned the trip completely independently – here are some tips for anybody thinking of visiting the South Island. .
🔖Click “save” to bookmark these tips for later! ➡️ 1) Take more time than you think you need. In a week you will barely scratch the surface of the South Island - I would say 2 weeks is a comfortable amount of time. ➡️ 2) Don’t assume that summer means hot weather! Even in December (the height of summer) temperatures peak at about 21C in Christchurch. Pack layers. ➡️ 3) Do spend time in Queenstown. It is stunning and one of my favourite places I have ever visited – great for hiking in summer, skiing in winter, sailing on the lake, adventure sports and a base for many surrounding natural attractions. ➡️ 4) Take day trips from Queenstown to Milford Sound and the Franz Josef glacier (but be aware that the weather is often not great). ➡️ 5) Take a road trip! The roads are excellent and generally empty – and it means you get to pose in places like the shore of Lake Pukaki 😊 .
Have you visited New Zealand’s South Island?  Would you like to?  Let me know in the comments!

Nicole Kidman's is both hands on hips. Meryl Streep's is only left hand on hip. Victoria Beckham's is right hip out, left foot forward (and no smile!).

Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you
Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you may be surprised by the number of French words you already know: rendezvous, entrepreneur, souvenir and ricochet need no introduction. All have been adopted into English wholesale, with their original French meaning and spelling. Perhaps they should apply for settled status post-Brexit... But sometimes a word’s literal translation in French bears no resemblance to what the word has come to mean, such as canape. Although we know the word as meaning a small piece of pastry or bread with a savoury topping served at drinks receptions, the literal translation is a decorative antique sofa. When a clever chef first came up with the idea, the topping was thought to sit on the bread or pastry like a person reclining on a sofa, and the snacks came to be known half-jokingly as canapes. Fact! 
I enjoyed these very elegant canapes (LOVED the lacy little potato lattices!) with Code Rouge sparkling wine before a jazz dinner at Gerard Bertrand’s flagship wine estate Chateau L’Hospitalet in the Languedoc.  The dinner was as  spectacular as the canapes and you can read all about it on my blog now – click the live link in my profile above.

The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Ol
The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Old Spitalfields Market where this photo was taken is very much open and is one of my favourite London markets. Here are my top tips for visiting Old Spitalfields:

1.  The closest station is Liverpool Street which is only a 5 minute walk from the market.
2. It's open daily, with over a hundred stalls, but on Wednesday the focus is on fashion & on Thursday the focus is on antiques & vintage.
3. The busiest day is Sunday - get there early to beat the crowds!
4. Make sure you sample some of the excellent street food on offer - I love the 8-hour pulled pork bagels from Dirty Bagel, topped with cheese melted by blowtorch in front of your eyes; or the traditional raclette at Abondance.
5. Don't forget to check out the amazing Shoreditch street art in the area around the market, either on a tour or self-guided walk.
6. The Truman Brewery just east of Spitalfields hosts a massive collection of vintage clothes stalls, and more street food - don't miss it!

"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Yo
"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so... get on your way!" (Dr Seuss)

How are you starting the new decade? Staring at the mountains ahead, worrying about how hard they will be to climb and whether your shoes will be comfortable and whether it is going to rain along the way? Or striding confidently towards the mountains ahead, looking forward to the fresh air filling your lungs and the sense of purpose as your legs carry you ever higher, and relishing the prospect of an amazing view from the top?

There is no finer metaphor for life than a walk in the mountains and I have already made my choice as to how I plan to tackle the mountains of 2020. What's your choice? 
Wishing you all a very happy new year and amazing views from the top of every personal and professional mountain that you climb!

This particular mountain is in the Austrian Alps where I hiked last summer. Thanks to @thepassionatecook for the 📸!
