CHICAGO DOGS

Now you don't have to make a trip to the Windy City to enjoy a version of the signature hot dogs smothered in classic condiments. A Chicago-Style Dog or Chicago Dog is usually boiled, but we chose to steam ours-it gives the hot dog a good snap, and the steamed buns are warm and squishy in the best way possible.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 all-beef hot dogs
4 poppy seed hot dog buns (see Cook's Note)
Yellow mustard
1 dill pickle, quartered lengthwise
1 medium tomato, cut into 8 wedges
Chicago-style relish (see Cook's Note)
1/2 sweet white onion, finely diced
8 sport peppers (see Cook's Note)
Celery salt

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot fitted with a steamer basket with 1 to 2 inches of water. Cover with a tightly fitting lid and bring to a boil. Add the hot dogs to the steamer basket, cover and steam until the hot dogs are heated through, about 5 minutes. Add the buns to the pot, cover and steam the buns until they are warm, about 1 minute.
  • Remove the buns from the pot and drizzle the inside of each with mustard. Top each with a hot dog, then nestle one pickle wedge on one side of each hot dog and 2 tomato wedges on the other side. Top with more mustard and relish, onions and peppers and sprinkle with celery salt.

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOGS



Chicago-Style Hot Dogs image

A long-time family favorite. The authentic stands use Vienna Beef franks and buns with poppy seeds and that trademark green relish and yellow mustard. If you're not fortunate enough to live near a stand (like us), this home version does nicely (with my own preferred changes of course)! The natural casing frankfurters have a pleasant "pop" when you bite them and are far superior to normal hot dogs. I don't advise using serranos in place of sport peppers as they are not the same type of chile and the serranos are MUCH hotter (as well as not usually being found pickled).

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 natural casing beef frankfurters (I like Boar's Head brand)
4 hot dog buns (with poppyseeds if you can find them)
1 small onion, diced fine
3 -4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish (bright green type if you can find it!)
1 cold-pack kosher dill pickle, quartered lengthwise
1 small tomatoes, sliced into julienne strips
4 -8 pickled sport bell peppers or 4 -8 tiny hot peppers (Kroger sells these)
dusseldorf-style brown mustard, with horseradish,to taste (may use yellow mustard)
celery seed
poppy seed (omit if using seeded buns)
beer, for simmering (standard golden lager preferred; not authentic) (optional)

Steps:

  • Simmer frankfurters in beer or water for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Warm buns in microwave, until slightly warm and soft.
  • To assemble hot dogs, place frank in each bun.
  • Add mustard to taste; top with dill spear, relish, onion, tomato, and 1-2 sport peppers (Jalapenos"might" be a reasonable substitute if you are desperate to find the sport peppers, but the taste won't be quite the same).
  • Sprinkle with celery and poppy seeds.
  • Serve.

Grilling gives hot dogs a nice smoky flavor, while boiling makes them more juicy. No matter which method you choose, make sure to cook the hot dogs until they are heated through.
  • Don't forget the toppings: The toppings are what really make a Chicago-style hot dog special. Be sure to include all of the classic toppings, such as yellow mustard, neon green sweet pickle relish, chopped white onions, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
  • Serve the hot dogs immediately: Chicago-style hot dogs are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the bun is still soft and the toppings are fresh and flavorful.
