Boerewors

Recipes »  Bread  »  Rolls and Buns

The secret in the making of good boerewors lies in the quality of the ingredients used. The better the quality of the meat the better tasting the boerewors. When making, do not overprocess; meat must be crumbly. Use good quality fresh (not frozen) meat and vary spices to taste. If you want to make droëwors, use narrow sausage casings.

Remove the seeds and coarsely crush them. Cube all the meat and spek, mix together thoroughly and mince coarsely. Place meat in a large bowl, add all the dry spices, Worcestershire sauce and vinegar, mix together lightly with a two pronged fork. Place in fridge for about 2 hours to blend the flavours.

    Boerewors is usually braaied but may be grilled in an electric griller, or fried, or boiled. When grilled or braaied, boerewors sheds a great deal of its fat. In South Africa boerewors is generally eaten with mealiepap, it can also be eaten on a long bread roll which is known as a boerewors roll. [I posted this recipe.]
