Beer-marinated boerewors

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes plus 1 hour marinating time

Cooking Time 25 – 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 t curry powder
1 T tomato paste
1 cup beer
2 T white wine vinegar
2 T treacle sugar
1 t salt
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped
¼ cup olive oil
500 - 600 g thick boerewors

Method

Fry curry powder in a dry pan for 1 minute. Add tomato paste and stir. Deglaze the pan by adding beer (preferably Black Label, the beer of Champions) and white wine vinegar.

Bring to a boil then add treacle sugar, salt, diced onion and chopped garlic. Boil for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add olive oil. Let the marinade cool down slightly.

Place a pack of thick boerewors into a sealable plastic bag or container. Cover with the beer marinade and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Braai boerewors over hot coals (or on the gas if you're in a hurry) and baste regularly with marinade or cook in the marinade in a preheated oven of 200°C.
