Boerewors Burgers
Full product description
Bring a bit of braai magic to burger night. Our Boerewors burgers pack the classic South African flavour profile—coriander-led spice with black pepper, clove and a hint of nutmeg—into juicy, hand-pressed patties. They sear to a savoury crust on the pan, griddle or BBQ and stay beautifully succulent inside. Great on a toasted bun with chutney, or keep it simple with salt and a squeeze of lemon.

FAQs
How spicy are they?
Mild warmth—more aromatic than hot. Add fresh chilli if you want extra heat.
Are they pre-seasoned?
Yes—boerewors-style seasoning. You can still add a pinch of salt before cooking.
Can I air fry them?
Yes—180°C for 10–14 mins, turning once. Check they’re fully cooked through.
What fat do you recommend for cooking?
A neutral high-heat oil or beef dripping for maximum sizzle.
