Step 1
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Add onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until deep golden and jammy, about 12 minutes.
Step 2
Push onions to the side. Add boerewors coil to the skillet and sear without moving for 4 minutes until the bottom chars.
Step 3
Flip the sausage coil and sear the other side for 3 minutes. Internal temp should reach 160°F (71°C).
Step 4
Remove sausage to a plate. Stir minced garlic into the hot pan with onions, cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Whisk mayo with lemon juice, chili flakes, and parsley in a small bowl until smooth and bright.
Step 6
Plate the boerewors coil, spoon caramelized onions and garlic on top, and dollop with chili-lemon mayo.
