Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground Beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 500 grams Ground Pork
• 100 grams Pork Fat
• 30 milliliters White Vinegar
• 10 grams Coarse Salt
• 5 grams Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
• 10 grams Coriander Seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
• 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 5 grams Smoked Paprika
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 meters Natural Sausage Casings

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your coriander seeds by lightly toasting them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant. Allow them to cool, then coarsely grind them using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and pork fat. Make sure the meat is cold to prevent the fat from melting.

Step 3

Add the white vinegar, coarse salt, black pepper, toasted and ground coriander, ground cloves, nutmeg, smoked paprika, and minced garlic. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands to ensure even distribution of the spices throughout the meat.

Step 4

Soak the sausage casings in warm water for about 30 minutes. Rinse them under cold water, flushing out any excess salt or preservatives.

Step 5

Using a sausage stuffer or attachment, carefully feed the minced meat mixture into the casings, making sure not to overstuff. Twist the filled casing at 30 cm intervals to form the traditional sausage links.

Step 6

Allow the filled sausage to rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This helps the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the boerewors gently, turning them occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.

Step 8

Once cooked, let the boerewors rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Keto Boerewors with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
