How To Prepare Delicious Droewors At Home


If you talk about the traditional South African delicacies, the most popular dried meat ones would almost always occupy a prominent spot on your list.

The traditional South African biltong and Droewors etc. are the products which have now lured the people from almost all over the world and have taken many new incarnations.

Here, we would inform you a very simple method to prepare Droewors which would be extremely healthy too.

The Ingredients For Preparation:


  • The major ingredient is minced lean beef- about 3 kg. Do not get fatty meat which spoils the taste. Also, ensure getting beef or lamb onlyas other meats might get greasy.
  • Additional Fat- about 300 grams
  • Droewors casings
  • Spices of your choice- coriander, black pepper, nutmeg, and cloves etc.
  • Salt- as per your taste

The Preparation Method:

  • Mix the minced meat and the fat in a container. The less is the amount of fat, leaner would be your Droewors. But if the fat is very less, the delicacies may come out dry. Be very careful!
  • Add spices to the mixture, mixing it very carefully with your hands. Transfer the meat to the refrigerator for about 3 hours and let the spices sink in the meat.
  • After the stipulated time, take the container out and mix the spices again.
  • Fill the casings with the minced meat mixture, ensuring no air entrance in the same. You can use plastic casings or sheep casings which are easily available.
  • Allow the packed mixture to dry at a temperature of 30oC with UV light on for about 24 hours.
  • After this, hang the Droewors on a metal or plastic hook and allow them to dry. Avoid hanging them on wooden pegs.
  • The meat should be allowed to dry for about 5 days, after which it is ready to be consumed.

And this is how you can prepare the delicious Droewors at home in the least of hassles.
Similarly, the dried beef biltong and jerky too could be easily prepared at home with the help of biltong dryers which are easily available.

Droewors are highly delicious and a perfect snack for any time of the day. They could be consumed by people of almost any age and provide lots of nutritional benefits too.

Note: The additional fat which you use to prepare Droewors should be used in a measured quantity. Any more or less is the amount and your Droewors would not be as flavorful as you desire. .
