How I Make Any Droewors - South African Dried Sausage
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, you will learn how to make any kind of droëwors. Traditional beef droëwors, as well as venison and the one they said, can't be done. pork droëwors. The principles can be used with other meats too and the spices can be adjusted to what you like. Drying droëwors can be tricky depending on where you live. I've included two methods I use all the time.
Enjoy and let me know how yours came out!

Useful information on lab-tested droëwors.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
‼ Important summary about safety:
- As per guidelines I advise you to use curing salt if making this the first time. Educate yourself on best practices when handling minced meat products so you could safely make them without curing salt in the future.
- If using curing salt you only need curing salt #1 or (6.25%) sodium nitrite and salt. Curing salt #2 is for meats that cure for longer periods of time. Like salami for instance.
- Because of the quick drying time and thin nature of droëwors you are unlikely to encounter any problems when done correctly.
- The water activity of droëwors is low enough for it to be a stable product and room temperature so it can be stored in a cool dry place.
Note: Some droëwors recipes call for less than 2% salt to the weight of the meat. This is playing with fire because the acid alone is not enough to prevent bad bacteria to grow and does not lower the ph enough.
You can use the recipes below as a guide and modify the amount of fat and change the spices and flavourings.
Always measure the salt to the total amount of meat and fat combined.
salt needed = (weight of meat + fat) * 0.02
curing salt = (weight of meat + fat) * 0.0025
Traditional droëwors recipe:
1800g beef rump
1000g brisket
250g beef fat
9g coriander seeds
1g cloves
5g black pepper
100g red wine vinegar
30g brandy (optional)
30g red wine (optional)
30g Worcestershire sauce (optional)
61g salt
7.6g curing salt(optional)
sheep casings
Venison droëwors
1000g venison/Any other game or ostrich
200g fat
4g rosemary leaves chopped (optional)
1g cloves
5g coriander
5g black pepper
3g juniper berries (optional)
40g red wine vinegar
20g red wine (optional)
20g brandy (optional)
24g salt
3g curing salt (optional)
sheep casings
Pork droëwors
1800g pork neck
300g cured smoked streaky bacon
30g smoked paprika
60g red wine/white wine vinegar
10g minced garlic
6g chopped sage
3g black pepper
36g salt
5g curing salt (a must for pork, do not skip)
hog casings
Either of these can be dried in a dehydrator or biltong dryer on its lowest setting or in a curing chamber as I showed in the video.
Enjoy!

That's "tiny-hands down" to you good sir! 🤣 But yeah, seriously I couldn't agree more with you.
An excellent video. Very entertaining and funny. Thank you so much!
You fracture me,love your humor and silly antics..these recipes are the Bomb !
Just a helpful tip when loading your skin onto filler tube, in my factory on the hand fillers this was our method, you pushed some filling to the front of the nozzle so a little meat showed and this facilitated the easy loading up. Also if they decide to use spice packs from one of the merchants, Crown, Freddy Hirsch etc make sure to shake the pack thoroughly as some of the heavier spices settle to the bottom. I hope this advice helps your viewers and thanks for a great descriptive recipe. Keep on sharing the best of South Africa 🇿🇦.👍

Hi Charlé Thanks for another great video. I really enjoy watching your content! I had a question regarding the grinding plate; my grinder has the option for 6mm, 10mm, or 12mm grinding plate; which one would you recommend using?
@PantsDownApronsOn

Run it through the 10 mm twice. Most importantly make sure the meat is extremely cold. Otherwise the mix will not be crumbly but pasty. Happy you like the videos! 👍

Looks great. I enjoyed the video thanks. I've never heard of curing meat at such high temperatures before though. It doesn't sound safe at all to have it at that temperature for so long. I understand it's drying out but still the meat is sitting warm and moist for a very long time. I've studied all sorts of fermentation and low temperature cooking and I don't understand how this is safe. Is it the acidity and lack of oxygen? A rapid fermentation as it dries out?
@PantsDownApronsOn

Acidity, salt, nitrites and rapidly reducing water activity. All plays a role.

@@PantsDownApronsOn Very interesting. I always thought meat curing required a low temperature. This opens up a lot of possibilities! I don't agree with the use of nitrites. After all, a healthy fermentation is all that's required to kill off even botulism, and pressure canning also solves the issue with low acidity foods, although the risk when canning is so low people never worried about it before a few factories became contaminated with spores and who knows why that happened. I can only think of good reasons not to use nitrates. Thanks again. I have really been enjoying your videos :)

@@lordnarayana6888 People freak out about nitrates, but it's just a load of misconceptions. There is a doubt about nitrites and cooking at high temperatures, but at low temperatures there are no concerns whatsoever. In fact, Google how to make your own nitrates. It involves celery. Yes, that's how common nitrates are in everything we eat.
great stuff as usual! thank you! i tend to avoid curing salt... is it ok to use sea salt or imalayan for beef? is pork a little bit dangerous than beef? or when it comes to drying has nothing to do and should i use curing salt for both? cheers!

If you’re comfortable without the curing salt you can do without for pork too. Add 80g dry red wine and ferment it at 24C for 24 hours. Before drying at 18C low humidity and fan.

@@PantsDownApronsOn i don't have access to suitable beef over here in East London, so I end up buying super lean silverside need and very fatty pork belly for the right fat percentage. Since light speeds up pork fat going rancid i cover the dehydrator's sides. As soon as it's dry, vacuum pack and you're good to go. Not one droewors stick has gone rancid on me. No vacuum sealer? Water displacement method.

Can I buy normal sausages from thr butcher (ready made) and then dry them like biltong? Or does it need the same whole procedure of soaking, washing etc
@PantsDownApronsOn
Жыл бұрын
Depends if it has vinegar inside. The ph needs to be a little on the acidic side to help avoid bacterial growth. However if it is a super reputable butcher that follows all the rules and the sausages are fresh then you should dry it quickly in a dehydrator to get the water activity down as soon as possible so it doesn’t spoil.
i agree about the pork

Can any old bro just make sausages at home with supermarket/butcher's mince and stuff the intestines without a machine? Also, can LoSo salt be used for curing? It's the 50% potassium stuff for us with high blood pressure ;)
@PantsDownApronsOn
5 күн бұрын
You can use the supermarket stuff and the low salt but you will struggle getting the meat into the casings without a machine. If you can get your hands on ready made sausage that low sodium then you can soak the sausages in vinegar for an hour or so then dry it. Couple of things to remember: Salt causes water displacement and this lack of water is what helps “cure” the meat because bacteria struggle to grow in such an environment. You won’t know what process bought mince went through which might be problematic. If you know a butcher you could kindly ask him to make the sausages for you and you can cure them at home.
And Jamie knows bugger all about droëwors in any case 🤣 And I'll say nothing to your wife about your actions with that grinder 🤦♂️
