Preparation

  • In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook gently for about 15 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are very soft and lightly golden, without browning too aggressively.
  • Pour in the beer and let it reduce completely, about 2 to 3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to capture all the flavor. Keep warm.
  • Preheat the BBQ to high heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the sausages for 8 to 10 minutes, turning regularly, until well browned and heated through.
  • Lightly butter the buns and grill them until golden and crisp.
  • Spread the sauce inside each bun, add a sausage, a generous spoonful of caramelized onions, some lettuce, and finish with crushed Doritos for crunch.
