Spring time in South Africa doesn’t just mean warmer weather, but gives us another reason to have a braai. Not only is a South African BBQ part of our culture, braai day is the second name for Heritage Day. One thing you’ll almost always see at a braai is boerewors, which is the local beef sausage of choice. Our mushrooms stuffed with boerewors is the best way to get the party started.
Making your mushrooms stuffed with boerewors
Get more boerewors from the butcher than you were going to put on the braai. You can remove the mince from the sausage skins. If you’re making your own boerewors from scratch, just use that. Get yourself some large mushrooms and remove the stalks so that they don’t take up any space. You can add some chili and green peppers to the party if you want to. Serve warm as a starter or side.
