Droewors is a dried jerky sausage from South Africa that is modeled on the iconic boerewors sausage. It is cooked with beef or mutton, sheep tail fat, coriander, vinegar, and a variety of spices. It is occasionally flavored with garlic or chili peppers. These thin sausages are swiftly dried to simulate the hot South African weather.

Ingredients
- 3 kg of lean beef or lamb
- 300 g of fat
- natural sheep casings

- Pre-cool the mixture at 2 C.
- Mince the meat and add spices to the mix. Put it in the fridge for 3 hours so the spices can sink in.
- Mix again and then mince again this time through 4.5 mm plate on mincer.
- Fill the sheep casings with the mixture without letting any air in.
- Dry the droƫwors at 30 C with UV light for 24 hours. Then switch off the light.
