Boerewors for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Boerewors for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The robust and satisfying profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced Mrs Ball's chutney used that way before.

the braai is a cross-cultural South African institution that transcends racial and social divides. I explained the a shebeen township tavern context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. Castle Lager was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
