Pork-free boerewors

Postby Sunu Tool » Sun Oct 02, 2016 5:48 pm

Hi,

We make delicious boerewors here in Senegal, but we have an increasing demand for pork-free boerewors. We unfortunately do not have those fat-tailed sheep to provide good lamb fat.

Can anyone provide advice on this, or even a good recipe or two.

What element of the boerewors do you need to replace? Fat only or fat and meat?

We need to replace all traces of pork. We even use artificial casings.

I've never made Boerewors myself, so can't help. But I can't believe that nobody can help with this. We've had numerous members who've eaten Boerewors from the cradle onwards!

The only thing I can suggest is a mixture of lamb shoulder and belly? And, maybe beef fat (suet?) if that's allowed. As with any sausage, use the hardest fat and keep it cold.

I hope this helps, and I'm sorry that we can't seem to offer a better answer.

Well this is my take (grown up eating boerewors) but not having made any. We have a lot of local varieties of it; can be in thick or thin casings (opportunity to use lamb casings instead of pork if you want to avoid artificial).

I've enjoyed 100% beef boerewors so unless you've already tried using 100% beef, see how that works out for you?

If you have tried 100% beef and it's not working, what about it doesn't work? The texture, flavour, colour?
