Ingredients
- 1 link (about 200g) boerewors sausage
- 1 hot dog buns
- ½ medium onion
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the 1 tsp vegetable oil over the boerewors sausage to prevent sticking.
- 2
Grill the boerewors, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through (no pink inside), about 10-12 minutes. The sausage should feel firm to the touch.
- 3
While the sausage cooks, thinly slice the 0.5 onion. In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
- 4
Toast the hot dog bun on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly charred.
- 5
Place the cooked boerewors in the bun, top with the sautéed onion, and drizzle with the 1 tbsp ketchup. Serve hot.
