Monkey Gland Sauce Recipe

Monkey Gland Sauce is almost as synonymous with South African childhood memories as the steakhouses in which they were made. From Monkeygland Steaks to, Monkeygland burgers to ribs and chicken, I think the only thing we didn’t eat it on was ice cream 🙂

No monkeys are harmed making the sauce 😉

So just to clarify for my non-South African mates that might be reading this: Despite the name, the sauce does not contain any monkey glands or any other monkey parts :p

Where has my Monkey Gland Sauce gone?

Unfortunately this delicious sauce seems to have lost a little of its popularity in recent times, and you don’t see too much of it on shelves or menus anymore… so if you’ve got a MonkeyGland craving… why not try make some of your own. It’s really quite easy.
