Steps:
- Grind the whole fennel and coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle until a coarse consistency. Or, place them in a small Ziploc bag and hammer with a meat mallet, smooth side.
- In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients in the order given.
- Mix well so that everything is evenly distributed.
- Using an ice cream scoop - or a 1/3 cup measure - roll into balls then press slightly so they resemble chubby hamburgers - 2" in diameter - 3/4" thick.
- At this stage you can freeze them as you would hamburgers.
- To cook - heat the oil in a non stick frypan and brown on both sides.
- Use the pan juice to fry up some sliced onion and make a rich onion gravy.
- Return the patties to the gravy and cook on low until no longer pink.
- Serve on top of creamy garlic mashed potatoes.
- Instead of onion gravy - I sometimes simmer them in a curry sauce made of fried onion, garlic, curry powder (authentic quality) - coconut milk and crushed tomatoes in even quantities. Serve on basmati rice.

Steps:
- 1. Cut the beef and pork meat into 1.5 " cubes and mix it with all the other ingredients except the sausage casings. 2. Grind the meat using a medium-course grinding plate 3.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality meat: Use fresh, lean beef or pork for the best results. Look for meat that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the boerewors moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Grind the meat coarsely: A coarser grind will give the boerewors a more traditional texture. If you don't have a meat grinder, you can ask your butcher to grind the meat for you.
- Season the meat well: Use a combination of spices and herbs to flavor the boerewors. Some common ingredients include coriander, nutmeg, cloves, and black pepper. You can also add some garlic and onion for extra flavor.
- Mix the meat thoroughly: Once you have seasoned the meat, mix it well so that the spices and herbs are evenly distributed.
- Chill the meat before stuffing: This will help to firm up the meat and make it easier to stuff into the casings.
- Stuff the meat into casings: You can use natural casings or artificial casings. If you are using natural casings, be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before using.
- Cook the boerewors thoroughly: Boerewors can be grilled, fried, or baked. Cook the boerewors until it is browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This will take about 10-15 minutes per side.
Conclusion:
Boerewors is a delicious and versatile sausage that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for grilling, frying, or baking. You can also add it to stews and soups. With its unique flavor and texture, boerewors is a popular dish in South Africa and around the world.
