Without lengthen translated, Boerewors manner Farmer’s sausage and in South Africa, no Braai (Barbecue) is entire without the completely known coil of Boerewors sizzling away. Boerewors is created from coarsely floor Red meat which is most steadily mixed with floor Pork and fleshy. The unmistakable flavour and aroma of Boerewors comes from the amount of spice added to the ground meat. Coriander, nutmeg, cloves, all spice and dim pepper are all added and when the Boerewors is cooking over the coles, the aroma is intense and fully saliva-inducing.
