Preparation Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
For the Boerie Rolls:
700g boerewors
6 fresh hot dog rolls
1 tbsp feta cheese, crumbled
For the Caramelised Onions:
3 large onions, halved and finely sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1½ Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp butter
½ Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
For the Balsamic cherry tomatoes:
500g cherry tomatoes, halved
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic reduction
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Freshly ground salt and pepper
Method
- Cook the boerewors in a heated, lightly oiled griddle pan, arranged in a coil shape.
- Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Remove from the pan and cut into 6 portions.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Toss the halved cherry tomatoes, crushed garlic, thyme leaves, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic reduction together on a baking tray.
- Spread the tomatoes across the tray and sprinkle with freshly ground salt and pepper.
- Roast for about 30 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and juicy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, heat the butter in a pan.
- Add the crushed garlic, sliced onions, sugar, and thyme. Stir to coat the onions in the butter.
- Cover the pan and cook on moderate heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Cut the hot dog rolls lengthways down the centre, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Fill each roll with a layer of caramelised onions and balsamic cherry tomatoes, then nestle the boerewors into the relish.
- Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately while warm.
