Do you have a boerewors recipe you think has what it takes to be crowned king?
The search for South Africa’s number one boerewors has started, and the winning recipe will take its rightful place as the next Championship Boerewors on Shoprite and Checkers meat market shelves.
Entries for the 2014 Shoprite Checkers Championship Boerewors Competition are now open, with nine of South Africa’s top community personalities excited to taste this year’s winning recipe.
A brand new Toyota Hilux 2.7 Double Cab Raider with a raised body is up for grabs, but only the tastiest, best quality, traditional boerewors will make the grade.
To stand a chance of driving away with the incredible first prize and the coveted title of Boerewors Champion, those interested should enter their recipes before the closing date of Friday, June 13.
Entry forms are available at the meat market of any Checkers, Checkers Hyper or Shoprite store, or online at www.championshipboerewors.co.za or cbw.mobi.
Traditional boerewors must contain at least 90 per cent meat – always containing beef, as well as lamb and/or pork and the fat content of the meat mixture may not exceed 30 per cent. Furthermore, the distinctive combinations of spices like coriander, cloves, nutmeg and black pepper, as well as fluids like vinegar, water and Worcestershire sauce are what differentiate boerewors from other variants. So, if you want to qualify for Shoprite and Checkers’ competition, please ensure that your recipe is valid and unique.
The South African Chefs Association (SACA), a recognised authority on food in South Africa, will take charge of the judging process, and will ensure all entries adhere to strict guidelines for making the real thing.
Participants have an exciting road ahead of them to get to the 2014 Championship Boerewors grand finalé. First participants will face-off in regional rounds that take place countrywide on Saturdays 9, 16 and 23 August, and only those who stand victorious after these hard-hitting clashes will go on to compete against their provincial counterparts on Saturday, 13 September.
The 10 boerewors-warriors who emerge triumphant from the provincial rounds will face their toughest adversaries yet in the final battle for title of 2014 Boerewors Champion at Sun City on 4 October.
To add to this already exciting competition, the nomination function on the competition’s electronic entry platform provides an opportunity for the general public to nominate their favourite Boerewors-maker to enter the competition and thereby stand a chance of winning one of this year’s great prizes.
The challenge has now been set. It’s time for that secret recipe to be shared with the rest of South Africa and for it to be entered into the 2014 Championship Boerewors competition!
