  "account": "For the braai enthusiasts, two intriguing meat recipes have been shared to plan for the upcoming long weekend. The first recipe is for panko-crusted lamb chops with rosemary and garlic. Rather than simply throwing the chops onto the braai, Tony Jackman suggests a more creative approach. He prepared the panko crumbs by mixing them with finely chopped rosemary, garlic flakes, and lemon zest. The lamb chops were then coated in this flavorful mixture and grilled to perfection.\n\nThe second recipe focuses on beef sirloin, which can be a hunk of meat with the fat cap intact. Tony recommends using a 1.5kg to 2kg piece, depending on the number of guests. The sirloin was first seasoned with garlic flakes, paprika, salt, black pepper, and a touch of wholegrain mustard. The meat was then cooked over the coals, initially on the hotter side for approximately 10 minutes. Afterward, it was moved to a milder heat zone and allowed to cook for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, depending on desired level of doneness. The meat should be rested for 15 minutes before slicing and serving with additional wholegrain mustard.",
