If there’s ever a better sausage that comes close to the greatness of boerewors, it’s the pork sausage. One of the most iconic ways of enjoying these bangers is with some mash and gravy. Our beer and pork sausages recipe puts a twist to the formula by using your favourite South African beer and making something great for lunch or breakfast. They’re juicy and make a pop when you bite through the delicious sausage casing.
Beer pork sausages recipe tips
You can cook the sausages on a braai but they’re best made in the pan because you’ll be using the fat and flour to make a beautiful sauce with apples and onions. To make mashed potatoes, boil them for 20 minutes and if you can, use a potato ricer to make a fine potato bowl and add butter, milk and salt for the fluffiest mashed potatoes you’ve ever had. The beer adds tons of flavour to the party and is a great twist on a classic dish.
