SUMMER SUN There are few things that scream summer more than a choma, a braai or a barbecue with friends and family in the sun. It’s a given that a friend will bring a friend who may bring another friend. Or even that a family member might bring along a new special someone; wink wink, nudge nudge. With more and more people choosing to live and eat differently, suddenly what to throw on the grill, other than a slab of rump, can be stressful. It needn’t be. Here are three recipes that are easily adaptable and mouth wateringly delicious
