• Toast your burger buns while the burgers are resting.
• Add mature cheddar or smoked cheese for an extra layer of flavour.

Braai Master's Tip 🇿🇦

Ostrich is naturally lean, so cook over medium-hot coals until just done. A beautifully caramelised exterior and a juicy centre will give you the best flavour and texture every time.
