INGREDIENTS
For the Boerewors:
1 kg beef mince (preferably a blend of lean beef and fat for the best texture)
250g pork mince
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp Super Saucy Chilli Jam (for infusion)
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup crushed ice (for binding)
Sausage casings (natural hog casings, soaked in water)
For the Infused Marinade:
2 tbsp Super Saucy Chilli Jam
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp tamarind paste
1 tsp ginger, minced
1 tbsp garlic, minced
2 tbsp honey (for that perfect balance of sweet and spicy)
Juice of half a lime
METHOD
Prepare the Meat Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef mince, pork mince, ground coriander, cumin, black pepper, garlic, brown sugar, salt, cloves, paprika, and fresh parsley.
Add 2 tablespoons of Super Saucy Chilli Jam to the mixture and mix well to combine. The Chilli Jam will infuse the meat with a fiery, sweet undertone that pairs beautifully with the traditional boerewors spices.
Slowly add in the crushed ice, mixing until everything binds together to form a smooth, cohesive mixture. This ensures a juicy boerewors when cooked.
Stuff the Sausages:
Rinse the sausage casings under cold water. Carefully stuff the sausage casings with the seasoned meat mixture, ensuring to pack the meat tightly and twist the sausages every few inches to form links.
Tie the ends of the sausages securely.
Make the Marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of Super Saucy Chilli Jam, soy sauce, tamarind paste, minced ginger, minced garlic, honey, and lime juice to create a bold marinade with both heat and sweetness.
Marinate the Boerewors:
Place the freshly made boerewors sausages into a shallow dish and generously coat them with the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours (or overnight for deeper flavor infusion).
Cook the Boerewors:
Preheat your grill or braai to medium-high heat.
Grill the sausages for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. The boerewors should have a golden brown crust with sizzling juices.
Serve:
Once cooked through, slice your boerewors into hearty sections or serve as whole sausage.
Drizzle with additional Super Saucy Chilli Jam for an extra kick, and enjoy the sweet heat with your favorite sides.
