Boerewors

Boerewors

Western Cape, South Africa

Boerewors (Afrikaans for 'farmer's sausage') is South Africa's most iconic sausage: a thick, coiled beef and pork sausage seasoned with coriander, cloves, and nutmeg. By law, it must contain at least 90% meat and no more than 30% fat. It is always cooked in its characteristic spiral shape over open coals at a braai (South African barbecue), never pricked, never straightened. Boerewors doubles as national ritual.
