Vegetarian
Swap out the boerewors for chunky plant-based sausages, firm tofu or pan-fried mushrooms. Cook until golden before adding the other ingredients.
Family Friendly
Choose a milder boerewors and skip the black pepper to make the flavours softer and more kid-friendly.

Serve this stew over pap, rice or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up all that rich, savoury sauce.
