Spicy glazed watermelon

Start by slicing the red onion and zucchini into thin slithers, then dice. Combine the egg with the breadcrumbs and chopped parsley to make a doughy paste. Then, add the chopped onion and zucchini to the breadcrumb mixture and stuff inside hollowed out peppers

Place on the braai with the bottom side down and braai for about 20 minutes or until the breadcrumb mixture hardens a bit. Serve with salt and pepper.

Seasoned Avocado

This is great to use in a salad or just as a snack by itself

Coriander (if you wish)

Start by cutting the avocado lengthwise into thick pieces. Then, season with salt and pepper to taste and, if you so wish, chopped coriander.
