Recipe of the day: New Year’s braai with KOO Boerewors and Baked Bean Relish

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 30 ml (2 Tbsp) cooking oil 
• 500 g boerewors (in a continuous coil or cut into pieces)
• 1 brown onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 5 ml (1 tsp) crushed garlic (or 1 clove, minced)
• 15 ml (1 Tbsp) paprika
• 5 ml (1 tsp) peri-peri spice
• 1 can of chopped/diced tomatoes (or 3-4 fresh tomatoes, peeled and grated)
• 15 ml (1 Tbsp) sugar
• 1 can of KOO Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

1. Brown the Boerewors: In a large pan or pot over medium-high heat, add the cooking oil. Brown the boerewors thoroughly on all sides. Remove the boerewors from the pan and set aside, reserving the pan and the cooking oil/fat.
2. Sauté: To the same pan, add the chopped onion and green pepper. Cook until they begin to soften (about 5 minutes).
3. Add Spices: Stir in the crushed garlic, paprika, and peri-peri spice. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Simmer Relish Base: Add the canned chopped tomatoes and the sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Combine and Cook: Return the cooked boerewors to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. The relish should thicken, and the flavours should mix. 
6. Season: Season the relish to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
7. Add Beans: Gently stir in the can of KOO Baked Beans. Heat through for 1-2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat immediately to prevent the beans from breaking down.
8. Serve: Serve the KOO Boerewors and Baked Bean Relish immediately with your preferred starch, such as pap or rice.
