Ingredients
Method
Place your frying pan on a medium heat and add the boerewors, keeping it in its spiral shape if you can. This shape helps to keep the juiciness contained within the sausage for longer, and gives the right spacing for the vegetables. The key to a truly flavourful and moist boerewors lies in the cooking temperature. Use a low to medium heat when you cook boerewors, as this cooks it evenly inside and out. Be sure to turn frequently.
When it is nicely browned on both sides, add the carrots and allow to simmer for a few minutes.
Add the shredded cabbage in layers on top of the boerewors, adding mixed herbs as you go along.
Add half a cup of water to the pan, cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes until carrots are tender.
