Ingredient appreciation — what makes Boerewors special

What sets Boerewors apart is the handling of chakalaka relish. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the robust and satisfying result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the braai is a cross-cultural South African institution that transcends racial and social divides. The a weekend braai atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had rooibos tea as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Boerewors is the place to start.
