Spiced

Wanted to try a rabbit dish, one shared on Facebook by a friend, this weekend. 
In the past, I have been known to travel considerable kilometres to obtain specific ingredients. Fresh rabbit being the item this time but the distance required to purchase a bunny was too far considering it is a meat that Jen is not too keen on. Not saying she would baulk at trying it, nor appreciate, but was it really worth the effort and time? No, not today at least. 
Do we have mud crab instead? Another friend posted last week that he was having a "free" feed of them. Ummm, decision. 
While deciding, I watched a recorded cooking show, Siba's Table. The episode was titled Cape Town Braai. Braai, pronounced bry, being South African for barbecue and a method of barbecuing meats using various citrus based marinade along with chosen flavours and/or rubs and usually cook over charcoal. That's it, decision made. Off to the shop for some tuna and pork. Doing the "surf and turf" as demonstrated
Now to the title of this post, Spiced. Many different spices are used for this meal. I was fortunate enough a few years back, for my 50th birthday actually, to be given a set of magnetic spice containers by a dear friend. They are very convenient being a big space and money saver. Would not be without them.............and the blender....the food processor......and.......well everything.
