Boerewors

Authentic South African Boerewors in Canada

Boerewors is South Africa’s braai sausage – coarsely ground beef and pork, seasoned with coriander, clove, nutmeg, black pepper and a little thyme, and coiled the old-fashioned way. It’s at its best straight off a hot braai, but it’s just as good in a frying pan, in the oven, or in an air fryer.

Common questions

How do I cook boerewors? – Gently, and never prick the casing – that’s what keeps the fat and juice inside. On a braai, over medium coals rather than a fierce fire, turning once or twice: about 5–6 minutes a side for a thick coil (3 minutes for a thin one). In the oven at 180 °C for 25–35 minutes, turning halfway. In an air fryer at about 180 °C for 12–15 minutes, turning once. In a pan over medium heat with a little oil or water, turning as it browns. It also slow-simmers beautifully in a tomato stew.

However you cook it, cook it through – it’s a minced-meat sausage with pork in it – so aim for 71 °C in the middle, then rest it a couple of minutes before serving.

How much do I need per person? – A one-pound coil serves three to four people.

Does it contain pork? – Yes. Ours is made with beef and pork, as traditional boerewors is.

Does it contain gluten, MSG or nitrates? – None of those.
