About This Recipe
The ultimate South African hot dog! A grilled boerewors (traditional farmer's sausage) nestled in a soft hot dog roll, usually topped with tomato and onion relish (smoor) and a squirt of sauce. A braai essential.
Preparation Instructions
- Prepare the Smoor: Heat oil in a pan. Sauté sliced onion until soft and translucent. Add chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, and sugar (if using). Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes break down and form a thick relish. Set aside.
- Braai the Boerewors: Grill the boerewors over medium coals (or pan-fry) until cooked through and nicely browned on all sides. Be careful not to burst the casing.
- Prepare Rolls: Lightly toast the hot dog rolls on the braai or in a pan if desired.
- Assemble: Place a piece of cooked boerewors in each roll. Top generously with the warm tomato and onion smoor. Add a squirt of your favourite sauces (tomato, mustard, chutney).
- Serve hot.
