SMOKED BOEREWORS, TOMATO SALSA & CHEESY POLENTA 🔥 - By Marco & Susan
Start with a pack of boerewors from .co Set the kettle to 100°C, add some oak sawdust for smoke, and let the boerewors smoke gently for around 2 hours. Remove the boerewors and plunge in iced water to chill.
For the salsa, finely chop ½ an onion, garlic and fresh tomatoes. Cook gently over low heat until the tomatoes break down and reduce. Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce, harissa paste and meat stock, then continue cooking until thick and rich.
For the cheesy polenta, bring some stock to a simmer in a saucepan. Gradually add the polenta, stirring until smooth and thick. Finish with butter and grated Manchego.
Get the fire up and sear the boerewors in each side for a couple of minutes.
Slice up that smoky boerewors, spoon over the rich tomato salsa and serve with a generous helping of creamy, cheesy polenta.
