    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the boerewors on the grill, ensuring it is not directly over the flame to avoid burning.

    20 min

    Grill the boerewors, turning occasionally, until it is browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. The aroma of spices should fill the air.

    Watch out

    Avoid pricking the casing to keep the sausage juicy and flavorful.
