Recipe

  • Ingredients (serves 2)

    • Cooking oil
    • 2 cloves of fresh garlic, chopped
    • 1 teaspoon of spices to your liking, for instance smoked paprika
    • 2 mielies
    • 250 gr (4 kebabs) VERO Spicy Chilli plant-based kebabs, defrosted
    • Handful of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
    • 2 fresh and soft flatbreads
    • Barbeque sauce

      •  

      TIP: For variation, use the VERO Smoky Barbeque or Flame Grilled plant-based kebabs.

  • Preparation (15 minutes)

    • Heat cooking oil in a frying pan until shimmering. Stir in garlic and spices and heat for about 30 seconds, distributing spices evenly across your pan.
    • Remove any husk from the mielies and add them to the frying pan. Cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, then give each mielie a quarter turn and continue cooking for 2 minutes a side, moving mielies around the pan slightly to soak up all the spices. Repeat until all four sides are cooked and nicely seasoned. Your mielies will take about 8-10 minutes in total to cook.
    • Cut the kernels off the mielie with a sharp knife, as close to the bottom of the kernels as possible, slicing away from you. Rotate the mielie until all kernels are removed.
    • Heat a frying pan with oil and pan fry the defrosted VERO Spicy Chilli kebabs for 3-4 minutes until heated throughout. Or heat on braai, 2 minutes each side. After frying or braaiing, remove from skewers before folding into the flatbread.
    • Alongside the kebabs, pan fry the halved tomatoes.
    • Grill the flatbread for a couple of minutes on a grill pan to heat them up and get those nice grill lines.
    • Fold the VERO kebab chunks, the corn, sliced tomatoes, sauce and any salad greens into the flatbread, apply the barbeque sauce liberally, serve and enjoy!
