Ah wonderful! I'm a South African living in Portugal these days and I've been missing biltong and droëwors like crazy. My Spanish fiancé and i found your biltong video and have just completed the first batch - it is heavenly! Next up we're making droëwors! Love your channel, thank you! 🤩😍

@SmokinYuma 3 дня назад

I live in The north of The Netherlands. This kind of sausage is very common around here. It's being sold at convenient stores but also at gas stations and such. We call it "Droge Worst" (dry sausage). I love it btw, always have a couple of 'em hanging around drying.

@markoutthere Год назад

South African here and this or biltong are my favorite things to eat! Droewors not pronounced correctly BUT you nailed the recipe and taught me some tricks I never though of with regard to how you stuff it (tie it and add water to the casings, brilliant!). Now the problem is I have to go and buy some stuff to make a batch. Very nicely done!

@jonkirkwood469 Год назад

I spent a few years traveling back-and-forth to RSA. Droëwors made from a variety of game was one of the engineer's specialties. The Afrikaners like to supplement their braai courses with biltong, too. An emu steak, properly prepared and served covered with biltong dust is quite a treat.

@CraftyZA Год назад

a few pointers to upgrade your Droëwors game. For the fat, use the fat that comes from a lamb's tail. The best fat in the world for this. It melts better in your mouth than wagyu. I kid you not! Then also, drop the worcestershire sauce. It's a modern adaptation, and it really detracts from what this can be. There are reasons why folk add this. With mass commercial hunting, the animals are not bleed out soon enough. This causes a strong metallic vitamin b taste. Kind of liver-ish. So one way of dealing with that is to add umami rich bold flavours to mask the flaws in the meat. (This is for venison droëwors) In your case, you used super fresh meat. So let the meat shine. leave the worcestershire sauce for hot pockets and eggs. Same can be said for your biltong recipe. You really should not add worcestershire if the meat is of good quality.

@michaelhotti801 Год назад

Nice video. We tend to mix the dry spices with the wet. Let it soak for 20 min in a refrigerator. Mix well and add. Run it a second time through the grinder. It helps blend the spices. A 20-30% fat content is more suitable for Boerewors, but we tend to go 5-10% of fat to prevent the Droëwors to become too greasy. Never mix in pork (turns rancid) , but you could blend it with lamb.

@chrisfisher3900 Год назад

@jacobenade3115 Год назад

Love the way you pronounce droëwors.. Exactly how we make traditional droëwors. Same basic spices as well. You can make it spicy by adding a bit of chilly flakes and pinch of smoked paprika. Thats whats so amazing about biltong and droëwors. You can play with the spices to your preference but must use the basic spices as you did. P.S never smoke it, and can be hung and dries in your garage with a fan on it to keep away bugs.

Man thanks so much for this! Just got back from SA and my droewors is already gone... cant wait to follow this to make my own!

I jumped in and tried this today Eric. The taste of the sampler (excess from production) fried up with some eggs was absolutely great. looking forward to the dried version in a few days. Thanks for posting the recipe and instruction video. It really helps in building the confidence to give it a crack. I used Brisket and added a bit of pork back fat for the 70:30 ratio (Beef was 90:10) Keep up the great work!

@michaelhotti801 Год назад

I would not use pork in droëwors. Pork and it's fat tends to turn rancid in droëwors and shortens the shelf life. I've been making Biltong and droëwors for over a decade and never used pork in droëwors. A 30% fat content will result in greasy droëwors. Try 5-10%.

@itzmetous Год назад

Hey I have a bit of a curing question! I remember a video you did quite a while ago and it was mentioned that meat in oxygen rich environments cannot harbor botulism when properly salted. So this leads me to ask, as long as I thoroughly salt something like pork for example, can I cure any cut? I know the carna seca video was just thin cuts of beef and could be other proteins and other cuts.

I have a question about humidity. I live in the U.K. and our humidity is pretty high at 70% + according to my hygrometer, way above the 50-60% you suggested in your biltong episode. I’m about to start trying biltong and droewors so wondered how this would affect the process and what if anything needs to change?

@johangreyling8814 Год назад

Just up your bulb wattage to 60 W this will take care of the humidity. Too much humidity causes mold to form as the wors takes too long to start drying.

@danielvisser6431 Год назад

@@johangreyling8814 Also a good way to test if the tempreture in the box is fine the heat should make the bilong slightly warm it will help with evening out the drying process if you really have a higher humidity in your area i would suggest maybe 2x 40W lights with correct spacing to create a more evenly heat distrebution

Eric, This is a sensational recipe, followed the process and, dried for 4 days. The result is sensational. One question, when I minced the beef it came out in the right texture, speckled , but when I put it through my kitchen aid sausage attachment the meat becomes much more homoginized . End result still tasted great but anything you can do to avoid this and improve the texture? Thanks

@2guysandacooler 7 месяцев назад

Using a kitchen aid is very challenging. Rechilling the meat mixture before stuffing might help. Also, if you have someone to help you, that would be ideal. You BEST bet is to invest in a small sausage stuffer. That would radically improve the quality of your sausage😉

@2guysandacooler Год назад

In this sausage the vinegar that's added denatures the meat's proteins. So in a technical sense i would say yes. In most sausages on the other hand, the salt that is added extract the proteins myocin and actin in the meat to help form a glue like matrix. So it all depends on the recipe and how it acts with the proteins found in meat.
