Ingredients
- 2 links (about 10 oz total) beef boerewors sausages
- 1 medium white onion
- 2 count soft white rolls
- 2 tbsp hot sauce or chili paste
- ¼ cup, chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- ½ count lemon or lime
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Slice the onion into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.
- 2
Add onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until edges char and soften, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- 3
In the same skillet, sear the boerewors over medium-high for 3–4 minutes per side until deep brown and sizzling. They're done when a fork pierces easily.
- 4
Toast the rolls cut-side down in the skillet for 30 seconds until golden. Squeeze hot sauce onto each roll.
- 5
Nestle one sausage into each roll. Top with charred onions and fresh cilantro. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
