Why Boerewors deserves more attention

Boerewors rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The spiced and savoury complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using dried biltong correctly takes real skill.

the braai is a cross-cultural South African institution that transcends racial and social divides. I encountered it first in a Cape Malay restaurant in Cape Town and that context helped me understand it properly. Pinotage wine is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Boerewors is the dish to start with.
