Boerewors Braai with Tomato Smoor
Juicy, spiced beef sausage grilled over open hardwood coals, served in fresh rolls with rich caramelized tomato smoor.
The story
Protected by South African statute, authentic boerewors ('farmer's sausage') must contain at least 90% meat, predominantly coarse beef and pork, seasoned strictly with roasted coriander seeds, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and vinegar. Grilling the uncut spiral over wood coals (*braaiing*) is the central ritual of South African social gatherings across all cultures.
