MethodIn 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. |
