2	Chillies, seeded and chopped
2 tbsp.	Worcestershire sauce

Method

1	Pour the water into a pot, add a pinch of salt and once it’s boiling, add the 2 cups of pap.
2	Combine by stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon.
3	Reduce the heat and keep stirring for about 5 minutes.
4	Put the lid on, and gently simmer the pap for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
5	While the pap is cooking, make the relish.
6	Heat a saucepan, add the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until soft.
7	Add the chopped chilli, tomato, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and seasoning. Stir and leave to gently simmer until the sauce has thickened and the flavours have developed – about 25 minutes.
8	Grill or pan-fry the boerewors until it’s done to your liking – maximum 10 minutes a side.
9	Serve the boerewors with a side of pap and spoonfuls of spicy relish.

OK FOOD TIP:

Whatever you do, never use a fork to turn the boerewors while it’s cooking! You’ll pierce the skin and the wors will end up dry because you’ll lose all those lovely fat and juices!
