Ingredients:
- 1 kg beef, coarsely ground
- 500 g pork, coarsely ground
- 500 g lamb, coarsely ground
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, toasted and ground
- 2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons nutmeg, grated
- 2 tablespoons fine salt
- 1 teaspoon cloves, ground
- 3 tablespoons vinegar (apple cider or malt)
- 1 cup ice water
- Sausage casings, natural
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spices:
- Combine the ground coriander, black pepper, nutmeg, salt, and cloves in a mixing bowl.
-
Mix the Meats and Seasonings:
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, pork, and lamb with the prepared spice mixture. Make sure to mix thoroughly for even distribution of spices.
-
Add Liquids:
- Mix the vinegar and ice water together. Gradually add this liquid to the meat mixture, mixing continuously to ensure the mixture remains moist and well combined.
-
Stuff the Casings:
- Using a sausage stuffer, fill the natural casings with the meat mixture. Be careful not to overfill to prevent bursting during cooking.
- Twist the sausage at regular intervals to create individual links.
-
Cure the Sausage:
- Allow the boerewors to rest in the refrigerator overnight. This step helps the flavors meld and the vinegar to slightly cure the meat, enhancing the texture and taste.
-
Cooking:
- Grill the boerewors over medium coals on a barbecue, turning regularly until evenly browned and cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
