Cooking Instructions

  1. Heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and season before cooking until well caramelized but not charred.
  2. Add the rosemary and chilli flakes cook for an additional 5 minutes to marry the flavours. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  3. Combine the cooled onion mixture with the mince and onion marmalade, set aside.
  4. Lay a sheet of foil on a work surface, with the shiny side facing up. Arrange the streaks of bacon vertically, overlapping slightly over the sheet of foil. Add a layer of the spinach before seasoning lightly.
  5. Add the mince filling at the bottom end of the bacon, keeping it as close to a sausage shape as possible.
  6. Carefully begin rolling the bacon over the mince into a sausage shape. Use the foil to help roll the meat.
  7. Ensure that the foil is securely wrapped over the meat before twisting the ends to seal the parcel. Place the parcel on a grid over medium heat coals or in the oven to cook for 20 – 30 minutes at 180°C or until the parcel is firm to the touch.
  8. Remove the parcel from the braai or oven then remove the foil. If using the oven turn the heat up to 220°C. Place the uncovered bomb back over the grid (or the oven) and allow to crisp and caramelize for about another 10-15 minutes.
  9. Allow the bomb to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into it and serving as a new braai alternative.
