SOUTH AFRICAN SAUSAGE (BOEREWORS)
This is the best sausage I have ever had. It will make any South African Homesick instantly. It is very filling. I got it when I lived in South Africa for a couple of years.

Steps:
- Skip the first few steps if you are using ground beef and pork.
- Prepare beef and pork by trimming off all sinew, and other nasty bits and pieces that may affect the texture.
- To facilitate mincing, cut meat into long, narrow strips about 3 inch in diameter and freeze for about 30 minutes.
- Mince meat through a course mincer for a rough texture, or finely if you prefer.
- Allow the meat to be fed through with very little assistance from the tamper.
- Finish off by mincing a piece of bread to remove every vestige of meat from the mincer.
- Roast coriander and cloves in a dry frying pan, tossing the spices about until uniformly brown and aromatic.
- Don't allow to burn.
- Grind spices with a pestle and mortar, sift to remove husks, mix with remaining spices and sugar and sprinkle over the mince.
- Lightly mix in wine or vinegar.
- Drain the casings and place over one end of the filling horn (I use the kitchen aid attachment and carefully push all of the casings on leaving a 3 inch length hanging down).
- Tie a knot in this.
- Grabbing hold of a second pair of hands at this point makes wors-making less traumatic.
- You can then feed the mixture in while your assistant hold the casings, guiding the filling inches.
- Feed the mixture into the mincer a little at a time, while securing the casing with a gentle pressure of one hand on the horn to control the unrolling of the casing as its filled.
- Mould the sausage with your hand to make it uniformly thick.
- Don't pack the casings too full, or the wors will burst while cooking, but try to avoid air bubbles.
- After the casing has been filled, remove it - still attached to the horn - from the machine.
- Push any remaining filling into the casing and tie a knot in the end.
- BBQ quickly over hot coals.
- The skin should be crisp and the middle just pink.
- Serve immediately.

BOEREWORS - SOUTH AFRICAN SAUSAGE
This is a must on every barbecue whether it be coal, gas or electric! When I have not been able to get the skins to produce sausages, I have shaped this mixture into patties and have served it in burger form - something my American family and friends have raved over!
