Instructions

  1. Step 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. Step 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. Step 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. Step 4

    Toast the hot dog bun on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly charred.

  5. Step 5

    Place the cooked boerewors in the bun, top with the sautéed onion, and drizzle with the 1 tbsp ketchup. Serve hot.
