Ingredients

  • 2 pieces boerewors sausages
  • 2 pieces soft white bread rolls
  • ½ medium yellow onion
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce or peri-peri sauce
  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the onion into thin rings. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Cook onion rings, stirring occasionally, until edges darken and char, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. 3

    Add boerewors to the same skillet. Sear 2 minutes per side without moving until charred and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Toast rolls face-down in the skillet for 90 seconds until golden and crispy.

  5. 5

    Spread mustard on one roll half, hot sauce on the other. Layer each sausage, charred onions, and fresh herbs.

  6. 6

    Close the rolls and serve immediately while sausage and bread are still warm.
