Retail groups Shoprite and Checkers are calling all chefs, cooks and boerewors enthusiasts to enter recipes into the 31st annual Championship Boerewors competition by 16 June.
The competition will be judged by a panel of culinary experts from the South African Chefs Association (Saca). The winning boerewors will be available for purchase at Shoprite and Checkers stores nationwide.
All recipes will go through a validation process and must adhere to the guidelines for making traditional boerewors. Once validated, the judges will shortlist 30 recipes before narrowing them down to the top ten finalists.
The top ten finalists will then be invited to a special event where they will prepare and cook their boerewors for the judging panel.
The winner will be declared on the same day and will walk away with prizes and the esteemed Championship Boerewors maker title for 2023.
Last year’s winner is Welcome Magoso (24).
“I didn’t think I’d win at the first try. Now I know that nothing can stop me from achieving what I want, not even my age,” he said.
“I would encourage anyone with a good recipe to give it a go because it might change your life.”
This year’s winner will walk away with the coveted title of South Africa’s Boerewors Champion and a brand-new Toyota Fortuner 2.4 GD-6 RB MT, valued at R650 000, plus R20 000.
The second prize is R50 000 and third prize is R30 000.
