Metric
- 1 tbsp coriander seed
- 2 lb beef, cubed
- 2 lb mutton, cubed
- 2 lb veal, cubed
- ¼ lb spek, cubed
- 1½ tbsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp grated nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground allspice
- ½ cup brown vinegar
- 1½ brandy (optional)
- 2¼-inch wide sausage casings
Steps
- Place seeds into a dry frying pan.
- Put the pan over low heat and allow coriander to burn slightly.
- Break seeds apart with a fork, or use a coffee/spice grinder to finely grind them.
- Cut all meat and spek into cubes.
- Mix spek and meat together thoroughly, and then coarsely mince or grind it.
- Mix in all dry spices, vinegar, and brandy with a large, two-pronged fork.
- Place meat mixture in fridge, and let rest for 2 hours to blend the flavours together.
- While the meat is resting, soak the sausage casings in water for the same 2 hours.
- Fit casings over sausage maker, and fill with the meat/spice mixture. Be very careful not to over- or understuff the boerewors, as doing so will ruin them. Fill in long continuous lengths; don't make links.
- Cook sausages on a barbecue, but do not prick to allow juices to escape as much of the flavour will escape with them. Cook until still pink and juicy inside
