Home made Boerewors
|
Had some fun recently making some homemade boerewors with African PH Pen de Vries.
Killed a couple of fallow does, both in excellent condition. Hung in a chiller for three days and then boned out and minced. Mixed with some pork and spices. Then made into sausages. Pen de Vries recipe to follow soon.
A picture or three to whet the appetite in the meantime. Enjoyed with som satay rice and a fresh salad of cucumber and grated carrot. Not to mention some 2004 vintage shiraz and grenache red wine drawn direct from French oak barriques. Soon to be bottled.
Home Made Boerewors with Hand Made Wines. What a combination!

The fellow is away for several weeks working in the bush. So you will just have to be patient.

Haven't forgotten. Spoke to the fellow briefly but he has no proper telephone or internet access where he is working and it is truly the outback. Will get it yet.

Believe or not, I tried to get the recipe again this weekend but the gentlemen in question was in Tanzania.
In the meantime I'm going to look for other boerewor recipes.

Re: Home made Boerewors

John, here is a recipe from a book Cook and enjoy.
5kg beef
1kg pork
1.5 kg pork fat
50 ml salt
12.5 ml pepper
37.5 ml coliander(fine)
12.5 ml gloves (fine)
23 ml wonder pepper (fine)
7.5 ml nutmeg (fine)
150 to 200 ml viniger, I use brown vineger
Cut the meat and the fat in blocks and mix.
Mix in the vinegar
Mix the spices and sprinkle over the meat.
I first mince it with a 10 mm plate, then mix it and then mince it with a 3 mm plate. Mix again thoroughly gefore you put it in the skins.
The beef can be replaced with venison and the pork with beef. The pork fat can be replaced with the tail fat of sheep. If you use the tail fat of sheep you cannot keep it to long.
You can also play around with your spices. The best way to test your mixture is to take a bit of raw mixture and smell it and taste it. You can alsways ad a bit. I love a lot of Coliander, but everybody got his own taste.
You can also play around and add some cheese, or garlic. Instead of mincing the pork fat you can cube the fat and mix it in. Your imagination can do the rest.
Enjoy

Thanks for the recipe. The ingredients sound pretty much all the same but I did not have the quantities of each.
In the end for our run of boerewors we used equal parts of fallow deer venison and hogget (sheep aged between a lamb and adult). The hogget was judged fatty enough to not require the addition of pig fat we had on hand. With hindsight some pig fat should have been used as the sausages were very fine freshly cooked but a little dry if re-heated later (ie left overs).
