Boerewors Roll (Grilled Sausage in a Bun)

Method

1. 1

   Get the coals burning down to a steady medium heat (or preheat a grill to medium).

2. 2

   Lay the whole wors coil directly on the grid and grill, turning gently with two tools — never a fork — for 15–18 minutes total, until browned outside and cooked through.

   💡 Piercing wors drains its soul onto the coals. Turn gently, mourn nothing.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, soften the onions in a pan over medium heat.

4. 4

   Add the tomatoes, vinegar and sugar; simmer down into a soft, sweet-sour smoor, about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Lift the wors off the grill and let it rest a couple of minutes before cutting, so the juices settle.

6. 6

   Cut the coil into roll-length pieces.

7. 7

   Tuck into the rolls and bury under the smoor; eat while both are still warm.
