Biltong flatbread tips
Naturally, South Africa produces the finest biltong of any country in the planet. The salty flavours go well with the light, crispy flat bread. Some garlic butter may be used to baste the loaves, but care must be taken not to burn the garlic. As a result of their quick cooking time, you may continue prepare them even after removing the meat from the braai. Serve them hot or at room temperature, sprinkled with chopped parsley.
