Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams Ground beef (80/20 lean-fat ratio)
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 15 grams Coriander seeds
- 10 grams Black pepper
- 5 grams Nutmeg
- 2 grams Clove powder
- 20 grams Salt
- 30 milliliters Cider vinegar
- 200 grams Natural sheep casings
Instructions
Begin by toasting the coriander seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until they start to pop and become aromatic. Transfer them to a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle and grind them coarsely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork together.
Add the ground coriander, black pepper, nutmeg, clove powder, and salt to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout.
Add the cider vinegar and continue to mix the meat until it's well incorporated and the mixture becomes slightly sticky.
Prepare the sheep casings by rinsing them in lukewarm water and checking for any holes or knots.
Attach the casing to a sausage stuffer and fill the casing gently with the meat mixture, being careful not to over-stuff. Ensure each sausage is about 30-40 cm long.
Tie off or twist each end of the sausage to secure the filling.
Hang the sausages in a well-ventilated, cool area, preferably with a consistent airflow, for at least 48 hours, until they are dry but still slightly pliable.
Once dried, cut the droewors into suitable lengths and store them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a cool pantry.
