Peanut Butter & Bacon Mielies (Corn) - A @dtube exclusive: A BraaiBoy TV Recipe
First Up: If you're viewing this from a Facebook or Twitter link, and you haven't joined Steemit yet, then please do so now... and subscribe to my @dtube channel (
If I've ever braaied mielies for you, then you've definitely tried my GO TO "mieliles on the braai recipe"... A mate of mine introduced me to the recipe a few years back, and you know what they say: If it ain't broke, then don't fix it! So for years, I haven't!
In short: The recipe is: mix Marmite, butter and melt it, add a dash or 5 of Aromat. Soak your mielies in the mix for a few minutes. Braai the mielies as per usual and keep basting during the process. Excess sauce can be drizzled on the mielies after they've been braaied.

A GUARANTEED WINNER!
Anyway, so I decided to break the "if it ain't broke..." rule, and try a new recipe that another mate of mine swears by. It includes bacon... so that was probably what swayed me :-)
Because the mielies are pre-cooked, you only need to braai until the bacon starts to crisp.
I'm still in 2 minds about this one though... It's definitely "interesting" (yes, that's what most people will tell you when they're not entirely sure how to tell you they don't really love the food you just made them.... hmmmmmm)... and I will definitely be trying it again... even if it's just to shake things up now and again.
Tip: Sprinkle a little salt on your mielies after as well... I assumed the salt from the bacon (and butter) would be enough saltiness, but it could do with a tiny bit extra.
Liked the recipe... or maybe the recipe was crap but you like the video? If so, then please give it an UpVote and maybe even a ReSteem too. Holler at me in the comments and share it with your friends.
Thought it was crap? Then let me know in the comments below as well... please don't downvote though, 'cos that would just be douchey! :P
Reminder: I've started moving my content over from YouTube and Facebook about 2 months ago, and going forward, all my recipe videos will be released here on @dtube first, and then only a few days later they get shared on YouTube and Facebook. I've also got a few projects lined up that will ONLY be released on @dtube... so there's another good reason to sign up: https://signup.steemit.com/
Oh yes... and in case you didn't know: You'll even get paid when you like my videos (and any other videos you happen to find and like over here)... WIN-WIN for everyone :-)
UpVotes, ReSteems & Comments are held in high (e)steem :P
Do you have any recipes or ideas that you would like to see me try out? Let me know in the comments below and if I use your idea there will be a reward in it for you. I don't know what that reward is just yet... but there will be a reward, and it will be cool. ;-)

How have I not found you on Steem all this while. Food, that's my name. Strange foods, my surname.
Looks totally insane, so I'm definitely gonna try it out. Hopefully I don't mess things up😀
Hahaha... it's pretty hard to mess this one up :-)
Thanks for popping in, I'm relatively new here to Steemit, so I'm just as glad we bumped into each other... I'll go check out your profile soon as well.
Congratulations! Your submission earned you 0.123 SBD from this bounty. You have received 0.000 SBD from the creator of the bounty and 0.123 SBD from the community!
Yeah, nobody wants crunchy bits on their mielie. We usually try to avoid that shit.
HAHAHAHAHA! Well spotted dude.... I LOVE that you get my jokes!
I'll come back tomorrow and give you a proper upvote for a proper share of the bounty... right now my VP is a little low from upvoting too many comments (also I've been downvoting spam a lot this morning too... and that chows up a lot of VP too).
I am the Innuendo Police. lol
The IP. :P
TOO.MANY.JOKES!
BraaiBoy let's himself out before saying something very inappropriate

You'll get rewarded for commenting (well... proper comments anyway) on this post!
strange meal , but look testy, right? , may i wana to try prepaing as your recipe, thank you, upvote for you .
Yeah... it is a little strange... but then again I thought whiskey was also "a little strange" when I was 5 years old... some things just take a little getting used to, I suppose :-)
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the upvote!
welcome, thanks reply and for your upvote comment
hmmm, got this just as I was about to remove my upvote.
hmmmmm.... OK, gonna leave the upvote too for now, but please check my reply below re comment spamming.
Jane, Jane... Jane :-(
I'd already upvoted your comment and went to your profile to follow you when I noticed you are actually just comment spamming :-(
Please stop that! I've removed my vote, but won't change to a flag just yet, because I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're actually manually "comment spamming" as an over-zealous newbie...
P.S. You'll start getting a lot more flags from the likes of @steemcleaners and @steemflagrewards etc. if you don't stop.
Ok @braaiboy , thank you for your advise, I'm actually not spamming, but your are right for speed commenting and i will take your note.
Sweet!!!
Glad to hear I was wrong... and then right... and then wrong again :P

I really prefer pop corn to that kind of corn. Anyhow the sauce and the bacon are strange for me together with corn... but sure that if you are hungry that can take care of the hunger.

hahaha... give it a try... I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
I have... questions. How do you say mielie? My-lee? And what is Braai?? I understood the posting for the most part just because of the context but those terms specifically I don’t really get. HOWEVER, this looks crazy and I must try it! Cheers!

Thanks for popping by...
Mielie is pronounced "Mii-lii" .. like Wii, the gaming console :-)
Braai is BBQ (or more correctly grilling actually)... every South African is born with a "braai tong" in their hands :-)
Please do try the recipe and let me know what you think.
Thank you for the explaination! South African food, I’ve never made any! I will try it very soon, thank you :)
This particular recipe isn't really "traditionally South African"... but I've got many more videos on my channel that are if you're looking.
Cool!
Looks insane, man. But I love PB, bacon, and maize separately.
Might be a real winner together :D I would def give this recipe a shot when I get the ingredients.
Same... I was very skeptical at first... now I'm just "not sure".
P.S. When you do try it... make sure you add a tiny sprinkle of salt once grilled ... makes both bacon flavour pop out a little more, otherwise the sweet is too overpowering.
Cool, will do. Read that tip on your post too, must be really crucial then :)
I just had beef stew in PB sauce earlier so I'm definitely intrigued by your recipe ... and craving.
Then you might be interested in in my previous video (chicken kebabs) too:
Replace the Sesame Oil with Peanut Oil, and add a dash of chilli... YUM!

Not so sure about peanut butter, the rest sounds good, I love mielies cooked on a fire @braaiboy
Same... but it tastes pretty good... just "vreemd" as they say in Afrikaans... NB try not to eat too much of the molten PB & Butter... My cameraman and I were gulping down spoonfuls of the stuff... THAT was yummy!!!!

Will have a braai this Saturday. Will definitely try this, but will start with your original recipe since it is new to me...
Mouth watering right now... Remind me to avoid @braaiboy 's posts!
hahaha... yeah, I've heard my videos are "safest" to watch after you've eaten and not before :-) ... but they're the most inspiring to watch when hungry :-)
Re the original recipe: Ooohhh yeah.. that's yum too!
