No oil, use good meat – tips from SA’s first wors champ who lost part of a pinkie chopping lamb
Tommy Hendriks, Shoprite's first ever Boerewors Championship winner, was crowned in 1992.The blockman, born in Uppington, learnt how to make boerewors at different butcheries from lamb and liver meats.
While working for the butchery, Hendriks watched the owner with keen interest as he fulfilled wors orders. His time at the local butchery exposed him to making different types of meat, including garlic polony, and a more distinct kind, liver wors, and lamb. His meat acumen grew sharper when he became a sausage-maker for a butchery called Levinsons.
For Hendriks, who lost half of his pinkie finger on the job, the mark of a true butcher is a severed finger or two. For the meat,"boerewors must always have the best meat… it must be good trimmings… lean meat" he says.
