Our wine recommendation:
A rosé such as Leopard's Leap Classic Collection Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2021 goes particularly well with this delicious version of Braaibroodjie with a hint of pink thanks to the caramelized red onions. The red fruit notes and fresh, uncomplicated character with nice acidity pair beautifully with the Braaibroodjie ingredients. Or try the fruity and balanced Leopard's Leap Lookout Cape Leopard Mountain Rosé 2022 with grilled sandwiches.
