Ingredients you will need:
- 500g Wors (Boerewors)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 cup of beef stock
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1/4 cup of water
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the sausage (wors)
Using a sharp knife, divide the Wors into six pieces, each about 8cm long. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill with a small amount of oil, then add the Wors. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning the sausage every 3-4 minutes until it is cooked through and golden brown. Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the grill and set it aside - keeping it warm in the oven.
Step 2: Preparing the gravy
While the sausage is cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until evenly caramelized - for about 8-10 minutes. Add the beef stock and stir well. Allow the stock to simmer for about 5 minutes before adding the corn starch. Stir until everything is well mixed.
Step 3: Add in the water
In a separate bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of corn starch with a 1/4 cup of water until it forms a smooth paste. Add the paste to the gravy gradually, while continuously stirring. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens, which may take approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step 4: Serve the Wors with Gravy
Once you have achieved a smooth and thick gravy, pour it over the cooked sausage (wors) on a plate. You can garnish the sausage with some gravy, parsley, or some fresh green salad for a beautiful look. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice or some vegetables.
