Instructions

  1. Finely slice the onions. Cook them over medium heat with the oil and a pinch of salt for 10 to 12 minutes, until nicely golden and caramelised.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the sausages in a pan of simmering water for 5 minutes, or grill them in a frying pan, turning them regularly.
  3. Split the buns lengthwise without cutting them all the way through.
  4. Lightly warm the buns in the oven or in a dry pan to make them soft.
  5. Slip a sausage into each bun, then add the mayonnaise and ketchup.
  6. Pile generously with fried onions and serve straight away.

Variations and tips

Full pancho. Add slices of fresh tomato and a little salsa criolla for a fresher, spicier version.
