Afrikaner · the braai sausage — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms the South African origin, the coriander-led spicing, the coiled form and its place in braai culture, and records that the name is legally protected with a minimum meat content.

步骤

Toast the coriander seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes until they smell nutty, then grind them coarsely.
Mix the meats and fat with all the spices, the vinegar and the salt. Chill the mixture 1 hour.
💡 Keep everything cold. Warm fat smears instead of staying in pieces, and smeared fat renders straight out on the fire.
Mix by hand for only 30 seconds — just until combined. Do not work it smooth.
💡 Boerewors is not an emulsified sausage. Over-mixing gives you a hot dog; the texture should be visibly coarse.
Fill the casing loosely in one continuous length and coil it flat into a spiral. Do not twist it into links.
Rest it uncovered in the fridge 2 hours so the casing dries slightly.
Grill over medium coals for 20 minutes, turning every 5, until browned and just firm. Do not prick it.
💡 Never prick boerewors. Every hole is fat and juice on the coals instead of in the sausage, and South Africans will tell you so.

💡 小贴士

Boerewors in a roll with tomato and onion relish is a boerie roll, and it is what gets sold outside every hardware store on a Saturday.
The coriander-to-meat ratio is what distinguishes it from any other sausage. Three tablespoons for 1.75 kg is not a mistake.
No casing or funnel? Shape the mix into thick fingers, chill them hard and grill them the same way.
