    Thankyou for this video and recipe. Our pork was 50/50 meat to fat, we doubled the mango chutney and omitted jalapenos, and used natural hog casings. They are FABULOUS. We would probably increase the chutney even more, but seriously this recipe is the best "sausage" we have ever tasted. it takes flavour to a whole new realm!

    Very good video and easy to understand it. My Zimbabwean wife introduced me to this gem and after paying a fortune for these sausages here in Europe, I consider to actually try my luck making my own one. Sadly don't have the meat grinder and sausage maker, so gotta do shopping first - are there any particular considerations for meat grinders or sausage makers to pay attention to?

  • @martinerasmus6483
    @martinerasmus6483 2 роки тому +1

    Nice detailed video. Just a thought. Mix your spices, veg and fluids (without the water) before cutting meat so it can infuse the flavors. Then cut the meat into cubes and mix. Add the spice mix and crushed ice to the meat and grind it. That will help to ensure all is mixed well and the meat is not over worked before stuffing the casings. Hope this helps. Enjoy.

    What meat grinder and sausage filler do you use and how long did you use it for. In terms of the cost of you wors, is it cheaper or more expensive than store bought and by how much? I under that you can control the quality. Nice video.

    Can I substitute lamb for pork? (I loathe pork).
    2. Where can I buy an encaser?

Question, what do you use to measure out the spices in grams? I used the meat grinder to fill the casings, and will be buying a vertical stuffer for the next batch.

    hey guys. i cannot wait to try this recipe and make my own boerewors soon. ive recently purchased an electric meat grinder and would love your advice on how you clean, maintain and store your plates and blades? do you leave in rice or freezer like some do? do you wipe a bit of oil before storing and if so what oil or spray would you recommend? would be great to get your wisdom in this lol. ty for such great videos.

    • @XmanCo
      @XmanCo  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Mathew, it is quite the thing to clean. Lol. I use normal "Spray and cook" - its an oily spray bakers use. This really helps. We are living close to the ocean so corossion is a worry and thus far this has helped. Cleaning I sometimes boil water and let the bits lie in the water with soap. Hot water removes the greasy fats easier. Hope this helps. Shout if you need anything else. 🔥🙏👍

    That tip about only grinding it once is vitally important. That's the difference between Boerewors and English-style sausages, and something a lot of commercial makers don't get right. Over working the meat develops the myoglobin and sticks it all together in a sort of meat cement. English sausages tend to use rusk to soften this mix, but because there's no rusk in Boerewors, it'll just be rock solid when you cook it. Boerewors is more like a loose association of meat, fat, and spices stuffed in a skin, not a homogenous mass.

    Was just wondering - what casings did you use? I've just bought "Weston 19-0111-W 19mm Collagen Sausage Casing" which comes unsalted. They also don't specify which animal (sheep, cow, etc) the casing is from, which is odd. But ja, was wondering what you would use, and what's best.

    • @XmanCo
      @XmanCo  2 роки тому

      Hi Jean, somehow your message did not appear on my message screen till now. I normally use 30-34mm Hog casings. This is now for traditional boerewors. its a big casing true to SA boerewors that we enjoy. Offcourse you could go smaller to about 28mm. 19mm is more for drywors (Droewors). Hope this helps.

    Howzit Xman.
    I have noticed that on your dry wors recipie you don’t use Cloves and also your salt content is 35g for Three (3) Kg of vleis.
    On your fresh wors recipe you use the same qty of salt and spices for Four (4) Kg of Vleis.
    Is this a typo?
    Please can you correct that if it is or if not a typo could you confirm the differences are legit. Also one last question. What cut of vleis are you using and what cut of vleis are you taking the fat you use from.
    Love your videos and love the facilities for braaiing you have. Durban was once the best part of the world. I loved going there on holiday. I miss mother Africa terribly.

    • @XmanCo
      @XmanCo  2 роки тому +1

      Hi there Sadza Snake, I had another look at the qty's and they are correct to our recipe. Remember you can play with the salt. With dry wors we add more to less meat as this is part of the curing process. Some people like it more salty and then you need to add more. These qty's are perfect for us. I like to use belly of the beef, so some call it flap meat. This normally have some fat included. When I add fat I look for fat around the same are the stomach - Belly - Flap meat. Truth be told you could use just about anything really. As long as you make sure you do not add pork to your "Droewors" as this will go bad and not good or healthy for us. Hope this helps? Stay safe and appreciate your support. 🔥

      I am so with you, we love boerewors for any occasion. We have boerewors on rolls, as a add on with the rest of our meat on the fire and then we like to make the boerewors the hero of the dish by adding starch in different forms like a potato salad on the side, Maize meal and or veggies. This is just a few examples but we really eat it with almost anything. Stay safe man...🔥🔥

      I like making hotdogs with fried onions and ketchup with English mustard. If you really want to try a new way then you need to make krummel pap with tomato and onion sauce served with brown sugar. It is not to everyone’s taste but Africa loves it. Google krummel pap recipe. Very easy. You simply let water boil and throw in corn maize and start stirring till you get big lumps that crumbles. It should not be smooth. Let it cook on a low heat and add the boerewors with a tomato and onion sauce and brown sugar on top.

    Hello , thanks for sharing the mix 🇿🇦🇿🇦, I got the butcher to provide the beef and pork exactly to the ratios ie 4.5kg mix with the fat content explained, ( I realised I did the wet ingredients as grams 😩) .
    Mixed mince and ingredients and left overnight in the fridge , following morning dropped off at butcher to pipe them into skins .
    Just off the bbq🇦🇺 and it has turned out dry and crumbly……
    Any tips where I went wrong ?
    I could add about 50% more of the ingredients to intensify the taste.

    • @XmanCo
      @XmanCo  2 роки тому +1

      Hi there, sorry to hear that. I have had that too when I started and what I realized was that I minced them too course. This is where the crumbling is coming from. As far as spices im not sure how much you have used. If I remember correctly the recipe in yhe description should be for 3 kg. I will double check. When the butcher stuffed the wors he could have not used all the juices? Not 100% sure why it would be dry. Hope this helps a bit? As far as the taste you can definitely add more spice if it is not strong enough. Once again the spice mix we do is normally perfect and very tasty. Hope this helps you in some way. Stay safe. 🔥🔥👍
