Cooking on the brazier on Réunion Island 

Cooking on the brazier on Réunion Island is part of the local culinary tradition, highlighting the conviviality and intense flavours of products cooked over wood fire.

The brazier, which allows for outdoor cooking, is often used to prepare dishes based on meat, fish, and even vegetables. Here are some examples of typical dishes cooked on the brazier:

- Skewers :

Often prepared with marinated chicken, beef or fish, they are accompanied by local vegetables such as peppers or onions.

- Smoked chicken :

This wood-fired smoked chicken is a Réunionese specialty. It is often marinated with local spices, including turmeric and ginger.

- Grilled fish : Fresh fish such as tuna or marlin are grilled on the brazier, often marinated in a Creole sauce made from lemon, garlic, chilli, and ginger.

- Grilled bouchons : These small dim sum filled with meat or fish, of Chinese origin, are sometimes grilled on the brazier to add a smoky note.

- Grilled vegetables : Sweet potatoes, corn or chayote (christophine) are often grilled and accompany meat or fish dishes.

These meals around a brazier, often taken outdoors, are an opportunity to share a convivial moment with family or friends, while enjoying dishes flavoured with the spices of Réunion.
