‘Boerewors’ Meatballs (Keto)

Boerewors Meatballs Keto

“In case you didn’t already know, ‘Boerewors’ is a beloved South African sausage that boasts a very unique flavour. I have a Boerewors recipe on this site if you are up for the challenge of making your own sausages. However, if you aren’t, but still long for the flavour, I have made an easy version for you to sample. This was easy, I simply took the flavours present in boerewors and used them in meatballs! And, to keep things slightly authentic, the tomato sauce very loosely mimics a ‘smoor’. Smoor is a traditional lightly-spiced tomato sauce that often accompanies our beloved ‘Boerie Rolls’. I recommend you serve this dish with Creamy Cauliflower Rice. I have included the macro-breakdown for the inclusion of that as well below the recipe. Geniet!” – Monya

Boerewors en Tamatie Smoor (Keto)

Boerewors en Tamatie Smoor Keto

“I made my own BOEREWORS (South African sausage), so I had to showcase my efforts here. I love a challenge (and I love gadgets), so I ordered a sausage maker online, as well as sausage casings. Believe it or not (never having done this before), it took me less than an hour from the moment I opened the box, assembled the device – to me twisting the sausages into 6 portions. And, that included making the seasoning of the mince mixture! The predominant flavour in boerewors is the all-important crushed coriander seeds with just a hint of allspice. I served this with another SA favourite: smoor (a lightly spiced tomato relish). The macros indicated include the smoor, but if you choose not to make this accompanying sauce, the boerewors alone is only 1.5g carbs per sausage. ” – Monya
