Step 1
Coil the boerewors tightly into a spiral and secure with two toothpicks or skewers through the coil to hold its shape.
Step 2
Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until it's smoking lightly.
Step 3
Lay the sausage coil on the hot pan. Grill 6–7 minutes per side without moving, until the casing cracks and the meat is cooked through.
Step 4
Push the sausage to the side of the pan. Toss tomatoes with 1 tbsp oil, garlic, and thyme, then spread on the hot surface.
Step 5
Grill the tomatoes 3–4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the skins blister and start to split.
Step 6
Transfer sausage to a plate. Squeeze lemon juice over both sausage and tomatoes, then serve hot.
