Who doesn’t like hot dogs? And when they’re topped with rich braised onions and a zingy chilli salsa, they’re even more delicious!
INGREDIENTS
6 kransky sausages (I used Harringtons Cheese and Beer Kransky)
4 good quality frankfurters
1 tablespoon oil
long bread rolls
selection of mustards to serve
Onions
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 large onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 tablespoons muscovado sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
330ml bottle pale ale
sea salt and ground pepper
Chilli salsa
2 spring onions
1 long red chilli
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
sea salt
METHOD
Onions: Heat the oil and butter in a sauté pan and add the onions and caraway seeds with a good pinch of salt. Cover and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender and lightly golden.
Sprinkle over the sugar and garlic and cook uncovered for 1-2 minutes until the sugar has melted and started to caramelize.
Increase the heat, add the beer and bring to a boil.
Simmer for about 15 minutes until the onions are golden, the beer has evaporated and the onions are a deep golden colour.
Sausages: Heat the oil in a sauté pan and cook the kransky on all sides until golden and cooked through. Drain on kitchen towels. Heat the frankfurters in boiling water until hot.
Salsa: Thinly slice the spring onions and chilli then combine with the remaining ingredients.
To serve: Brush the inside of the rolls with mustard then fill with a sausage and onions and top with a spoonful of chilli salsa if using.
