Boerewors burger
Background
Boerewors is a very popular South African sausage, which is made from beef, pork and spices. This Boerewors burger recipe is actually based on the same ingredients – then just made into patties instead of sausages. The burgers are ideal for summer barbecues and parties.
Ingredients
- ½ Tbsp coriander seeds
- 250g minced beef
- 250g minced pork
- 1-2 pinch of ground cloves
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp allspice (optional)
- 1 Tbsp bread crumbs (or polenta)
- Salt & pepper
- To serve: gherkin & tomato slices, crispy lettuce ( such as iceberg ), Emmental or Gruyere cheese (optional), ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, buns
Instructions
- Lightly toast the coriander seeds then crush them in a mortar.
- Mix the ingredients in a large bowl, season with salt and plenty of ground pepper to your taste.
- Form 4 equal sized balls formed from the mixture, then using your palms flatten them into 1.5-2cm thick patties. Cover them and rest them in the fridge until you’re ready to grill.
- Take the patties out of the fridge. Turn on the grill or BBQ. Prepare the condiments and cut the buns in half.
- When the grill/BBQ is ready, cook the patties on both sides for 3-5 minutes. When they are almost done, put some cheese slices on top and let these melt a bit.
- Place the patties on a plate, cover with a large bowl and rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly toast the open side of the buns on the grill.
- Assemble the burgers with your chosen condiments and fillings, then serve.
