Sweet and sour sausages suggestions
Sausages and boerewors are particularly delicious when chopped into little pieces and used as a garnish for a dish made using leftovers. It’s easy to whip up some sweet and sour syrup at the same time you’re preparing your fresh sausages. The sauce goes well with the sausages, but it really shines when paired with some creamy mashed potatoes. Add some chilli flakes to the sauce if you like things on the spicy side.
We expect cooking to be easy and rewarding. Our boerewors sweet and sour sausages are like a throwback to the classic British dish of bangers and mash.
