Boerewors is a traditional South African sausage made from coarsely ground beef, often blended with pork or lamb for richness. Its signature flavour comes from coriander, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. The meat is seasoned with salt and vinegar, packed into a natural casing, and shaped into the classic spiral.

Boerewors is best cooked over open flame, but it grills, roasts, or pan-fries equally well without piercing the casing. It’s commonly enjoyed with pap and is a staple at gatherings across South African communities worldwide. A popular take is the classic boerie roll, served with tomato, chilli, and onion relish.
