Ingredients

For the Tomato Onion Mush
1 large onion, peeled, quartered & sliced
1 Tbsp light olive oil or coconut oil
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp finely chopped garlic
¼ tsp dried basil
¼ tsp dried origanum
3 ripe tomatoes, diced
½ tsp finely chopped chillies (optional)
1 tsp paprika paste (or ½ tsp powder)
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp barbeque spice
400g tin peeled & diced Italian tomatoes
  with juice
freshly ground salt & pepper, to taste

For the Boerewors Rolls
4 Crusty Portuguese Rolls
butter, for spreading

400-600g boerewors (100-150g per roll)
1 tsp light olive oil or coconut oil
½ tsp barbeque spice

100g Cheddar or Gouda cheese, grated

Method

In a large frying pan on a high heat, melt the olive oil & butter and fry the onion for 2 mins until soft and golden brown.
Add the garlic, basil, origanum & diced fresh tomatoes and fry for 2 mins.
Stir in the chillies, paprika & tomato pastes and barbeque spice, and continue frying for 1 min.  Add the tin of tomatoes with the juice and stir.  Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 mins.
Add salt & pepper to taste.

While the tomato onion mush is simmering, slice & butter the rolls.

On a breadboard, rub the boerewors with the olive oil & barbeque spice. Fry on a medium-high heat until brown and to the desired doneness (medium rare is best).

To serve, assemble each roll by adding a portion of boerewors and topping with generous servings of tomato onion mush and cheese.

Close the roll with its lid & serve while hot.

Banting/LCHF
Use Banting Buttermilk Seed Loaf (var) recipe to make rolls.

Serving Suggestion

Hold a “Build a Burger or Boerie Roll” lunch or casual dinner for a large crowd by pairing Boerie Rolls with Homemade Hamburgers and allowing everyone to braai their own meat and assemble their own roll/s.
Prepare & lay out buttered rolls, portions of uncooked boerewors & hamburgers, Tomato Onion Mush (above), Guacamole, Mushroom Sauce, sliced tomatoes, fried onions, crisp lettuce & grated cheese.

Variation

Leave off the cheese for a less rich version.
