Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the onion into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until edges char and soften, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 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. Step 4

    Toast the rolls cut-side down in the skillet for 30 seconds until golden. Squeeze hot sauce onto each roll.

  5. Step 5

    Nestle one sausage into each roll. Top with charred onions and fresh cilantro. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
