Durban Hot Lamb Sausage – South Africa’s Spiciest Braai Wors
🌶️ “Victoria Street Market Heat, Now in Every Bite that is – Durban Hot Lamb Sausage”
This isn’t just another “spicy sausage” – DURBAN HOT LAMB SAUSAGE is a handcrafted tribute to Durban’s iconic curry culture, blending African bird’s eye chili, toasted masala spices, and 100% lamb for heat that builds like a Durban summer. **Perfect for braai masters who demand authentic heat with complex flavor layers, not just blunt chili burn.**
The Story Behind the Heat
In Durban’s Victoria Street Market, spice merchants and butchers have collaborated for generations to perfect the balance of fire and flavor. Our recipe honors this tradition with:
- Toasted Whole Spices – Coriander, cumin, and turmeric **slow-roasted to unlock aromatic oils**
- Hot-Chili Blend – African bird’s eye mix **balanced with Kashmiri chili for depth**
- 8mm Coarse Grind – The authentic texture Durban butchers swear by **to retain juiciness during high-heat braais**
**
Fun Fact: The “slow burn” profile mimics Durban’s famous mutton curries, where heat builds bite after bite.

From Our Butchery to Your Braai with DURBAN HOT LAMB SAUSAGE
Every batch follows these small-batch steps **to ensure quality you can taste:**
- Meat Selection – 100% lamb **(shoulder and leg cuts for ideal fat-to-lean ratio)**
- Spice Prep – Spices blended in-house **(no bulk pre-mixes like commercial brands)**
- Grinding – 8mm plate for optimal braai texture **that won’t turn mushy on the grill**
- Stuffing – Natural sheep casings **(hand-rolled for traditional coil presentation)**
- Quality Test – Every batch sampled **by our in-house braai master**
**
Why It Matters: Commercial sausages often over-process meat into paste. Our coarse grind delivers a satisfying, rustic bite true to South African butchery traditions.

5 Ways to Unleash the Flavor with Durban Hot Lamb Sausage
1. Classic Durban Braai
Grill over medium coals (175°C) for 10 mins, turning 3x. **Look for a caramelized crust – this is where the flavor lives!** Serve with roosterkoek and chakalaka.
2. Bunny Chow Stuffing
Remove casing, crumble into **a rich tomato-and-lentil curry gravy**. Fill a hollowed-out **whole wheat loaf** with the mixture. **Pro Tip: Toast the bread bowl for extra texture.**

3. Spicy Breakfast Scramble
Pan-fry sliced wors with eggs, **baby spinach, and feta**. The chili heat cuts through the richness perfectly.
4. Durban-Style Pizza
Top flatbread with **creamy butternut purée**, crumbled wors, and **pickled jalapeños**. Bake at 220°C for 8 mins.
5. Quick Chili Oil Noodles
Toss cooked noodles with **wors-infused chili oil** (simmer slices in oil for 10 mins), **peanuts, and cilantro**.
Braai Masters Ask:
“Is this hotter than your Masala Lamb Sausage?”
Yes! While both use chili, this has 2x the African bird’s eye chili and extra black pepper for Durban’s signature “slow burn.” **The Masala Wors focuses on aromatic warmth (coriander/turmeric), while this delivers upfront fire.**
****
“How do I prevent flare-ups when grilling?”
**1)** Pat dry with paper towels before grilling. **2)** Use medium coals (not roaring flames). **3)** Turn with tongs (never pierce!). **4)** Keep a spray bottle of water handy.
“Can I freeze it?”
Absolutely! Vacuum-sealed packs last **6 months at -18°C**. Thaw overnight in the fridge or in water for 30 minutes.
