Treat your ingredients with care...

• Sausages — Choose your favorite sausages, such as boerewors or chorizo, to add a unique flavor to the dish. If using pre-cooked sausages, reduce the cooking time accordingly.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the sausages in the peri-peri spice and paprika mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Adjust the spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of peri-peri spice according to your preference.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the dish for a few extra minutes to reduce the liquid.
• Serve the stroganoff with a side of tangy pickles or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the dish.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated the next day for an equally delicious meal.

Serving advice

Serve the Southern African Spiced Sausage Stroganoff hot, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside fluffy rice or warm, crusty bread. The creamy sauce and tender sausages make it a satisfying main course.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, place a generous scoop of the stroganoff in the center of a plate and garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley. Surround the dish with a ring of fluffy rice or slices of warm, crusty bread. The vibrant red sauce against the white rice or bread creates an appealing visual contrast.
