Whakatane Boerewors Recipe
The following recipe was submitted to us by David Lewis from Whakatane in New Zealand. He says: “We live in Whakatane in New Zealand and had to learn how to make wors. The meat here is very bland as all these animals eat is grass, not soutbossies like in South Africa. This recipe is very popular in our area and we make about 150kg per month for about 25 South African families!” Thank you Dave, we are sure that lots of other people will try it!

Recipe Notes

Dave suggest that you adapt the salt as required. We would think that, since the animals in New Zealand eat only grass, Dave uses more salt than usual.
