South African Speciality Sausages - The Origins of Boerewors
The Birth of Boerewors
Sausage is an old favourite
in many countries, from the UK's pork banger to Germany's bratwurst! However,
boerewors is as South African as koeksisters and biltong. It was inherited
from the early settlers in the then Cape Colony who combined minced meat
and pork fat with spices, like cloves and coriander and preservatives,
like vinegar. Over the decades, this evolved to become boerewors, very
popular among South Africans and also world famous. Traditionally braaied
(barbecued) over coals, boerewors is also popular amongst tourists, and
many visitors to South Africa agree, it is delicious and unique.

Some Tips when Cooking
-
Boerewors is versatile. You
can either braai it, grill it in the oven, or fry it in the pan.
Serve it with vegetables and rice or on a bread roll.
-
When braaing boerewors on the
grill, ensure that the coals are not too hot as the casing will be pierced
and the product will be spoiled.
-
Avoid piercing the casing of
the boerewors before and during cooking because this can cause the product
to lose its moisture and become dry.
-
Boerewors is best eaten straight
from the braai grill so that the maximum amount of moisture and juice is
retained.
Boerewors is easy to portion
and can therefore be stretched further than other meat cuts.
-
For best results, always defrost
the boerewors before cooking. This is best done by leaving the boerewors
in a fridge overnight or until defrosted.
What Makes Our Boerewors
So Special
-
All our ingredients are fresh
and only the best quality spices and casings are used.
-
We hang our boerewors before
it is packed to ensure that any excess fluid is drained away. This also
makes the boerewors casing drier and more crisp so it breaks easily when
eaten.
-
Our boerewors is of a high standard
and is always competitively priced.
-
Our boerewors is made by experienced
and well-trained staff who understand and appreciate the need for a top
quality product.
