Method

Serve the doughnut burger with sweet potato fries and pair it with Beyerskloof Pinotage.

Braai the doughnut burgers over hot coals for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until cooked and the bacon is crispy. Baste the burgers with the marinade when they are almost cooked to avoid burning the marinade.

Slice burger buns and spread with butter.

Toast buns on medium coals or in a pan. Set aside.

Spread the cream cheese on the bottom bun slices and top with red onion and pineapple, followed by the doughnut burger.

Sprinkle with parsley and close with the top bun slices.

Heat oil in a pot and fry the sweet potato fries for about 8–10 minutes, or until cooked and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt.
