500 g boerewors (in a continuous coil or cut into pieces)
1 brown onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
5 ml (1 tsp) crushed garlic (or 1 clove, minced)
15 ml (1 Tbsp) paprika
5 ml (1 tsp) peri-peri spice
1 can chopped/diced tomatoes (or 3-4 fresh tomatoes, peeled and grated)
15 ml (1 Tbsp) sugar
1 can KOO Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
Brown the Boerewors: In a large pan or pot over medium-high heat, add the cooking oil. Brown the boerewors thoroughly on all sides. Remove the boerewors from the pan and set aside, reserving the pan and the cooking oil/fat.
Sauté: To the same pan, add the chopped onion and green pepper. Cook until they begin to soften (about 5 minutes).
Add Spices: Stir in the crushed garlic, paprika, and peri-peri spice. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Simmer Relish Base: Add the canned chopped tomatoes and the sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Combine and Cook: Return the cooked boerewors to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. The relish should thicken and the flavours should mix.
Season: Season the relish to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add Beans: Gently stir in the can of KOO Baked Beans. Heat through for 1-2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat immediately to prevent the beans from breaking down.
Serve: Serve the KOO Boerewors and Baked Bean Relish immediately with your preferred starch, such as pap or rice.
