Instructions

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

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

  5. Step 5

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

  6. Step 6

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