Grazing Boxes
Seven hot, grilled, crumbed and basted things for people who came to eat. No garnish doing the heavy lifting, no polite portions.
Prepped in our own kitchen on the morning it goes out and delivered across Fourways, Bryanston, Sandton and Rosebank. Order before 09:00 and it arrives the same day.
Beef, chicken and pork across seven items, built to sit next to a fire rather than compete with it.
It is the platter for the afternoon where the braai is handling the main event and something needs to hold everyone until then.
Heritage Day, a fixture on the television, or any Saturday where the fire is already going.
Everything on this platter is better warm. Give it 8 to 10 minutes in an oven at about 180 degrees before you put it out, or spread it across the cooler side of the braai grid for a few minutes.
Feeding more than eight? One platter per 8 people. If half the room does not eat meat, put a Vegetarian Charcuterie Box next to it rather than leaving them with the cheese grillers.
What tends to go on the table alongside it.
Hot finger food for a crowd. Spring rolls, samosas, jalapeno poppers, kebabs, wings and riblets.
See what is insideFour cheeses with beef biltong, droewors, caprese kebabs, grapes, figs and red onion jam.
See what is insideA full meat free spread. Dips, four cheeses, crudites, pickles, peppadews and caprese kebabs.
See what is insideYes. The pork riblets and the pigs in a blanket, which are pork chipolatas wrapped in bacon, are both pork. The kebabs, meatballs, chicken strips and wings are beef and chicken. Tell us when you order if you need the pork items swapped out and we will adjust the platter.
It arrives cooked but not piping hot, because it travels better that way and it gives you control over when it is served. Warm it through for 8 to 10 minutes in an oven at about 180 degrees, or across the cooler side of the braai grid, right before you put it out.
The Meaty is built around grilled and basted meat and suits a braai. The Gourmet is hot finger food with more variety, including spring rolls, samosas and jalapeno poppers, and suits a party where the platter is the food rather than the starter. They share four items, so ordering both gives you less range than you might expect.
Eight. Every Magies Vol platter is built for 8 people and there is no smaller or larger version, so you always know exactly what you are getting. For 16 people order two, and for 24 guests or more a grazing table set up on site usually works out better.
Yes, if you order before 09:00. Anything ordered before 09:00 is delivered the same day across Fourways, Bryanston, Sandton and Rosebank. Orders placed after 09:00 are delivered the next day, because every platter is packed fresh on the morning it goes out.
It is at its best within a couple of hours of arriving. If there is a gap before you serve, keep it covered and warm it through in an oven at about 160 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes rather than in a microwave, which softens the crumb and the pastry.
We deliver across Fourways, Bryanston, Sandton and Rosebank and the surrounding suburbs, Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 17:00. Collection from our kitchen can also be arranged. If you are just outside those areas, message us on 066 408 8267 and we will let you know.
R1,840. Order before 09:00 for delivery today across Fourways, Bryanston, Sandton and Rosebank.
