Boerewors - Chakalaka - £5.50

About This Product

Bring bold South African flavour to your next braai with our Traditional South African Chakalaka Boerewors. Made using a classic blend of premium beef and pork, this full-size boerewors is infused with the vibrant flavours of chakalaka– South Africa's famous spicy vegetable relish.

Coarsely ground and seasoned with authentic South African herbs and spices, including coriander, this boerewors delivers the rich, juicy texture of a traditional recipe with a delicious kick of tomato, peppers, onion and warming chilli.

Its thicker traditional casing makes it ideal for slow cooking over the braai, allowing the flavours to develop while keeping the sausage beautifully succulent.

Available chilled or frozen, it's the perfect choice for anyone who enjoys a little extra flavour without compromising on authenticity.

Braai Master's Tip 🇿🇦

A traditional boerewors deserves a traditional braai. Cook over medium-hot coals, turning gently and allowing the casing to caramelise naturally. The thicker sausage develops incredible flavour when cooked slowly and patiently.
