Don't stop at hot dogs: The sweet, spicy, puckery relish is great on burgers, sausages, and chicken breasts, too.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup julienned cornichons, plus 1 tablespoon pickling liquid
1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion, such as Vidalia
6 tablespoons thinly sliced sweet-hot red peppers, such as Peppadew
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 baguettes, ends trimmed
6 hot dogs (preferably nitrate-free)
Safflower oil, for grill

Steps:

  • Combine cornichons and liquid, onion, and peppers. Let relish sit 30 minutes, or refrigerate up to 2 hours.
  • Stir together mayonnaise and mustard, and refrigerate if not using immediately.
  • Slice baguettes horizontally but not all the way through so they open like a book (or a hot dog bun). Cut each baguette into pieces the same length as hot dogs.
  • Heat grill to medium-high, and brush grates with oil. Grill bread, cut side down, until just lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes, then wrap in foil to keep warm. Grill hot dogs until lightly charred on all sides and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Spread inside of bread with mayonnaise mixture, and place a hot dog in each. Spoon relish over top.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (9-ounce) jar mango chutney (such as Major Grey's), any large pieces chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard plus additional for serving
8 beef hot dogs
8 hot dog buns, opened

Steps:

  • Mix chutney, onion, cilantro, and 1 tablespoon mustard in bowl. DO AHEAD_Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill._

Tips for Grilling the Perfect Hot Dogs:

  • Choose the right hot dogs: Look for high-quality hot dogs made with 100% beef or a blend of beef and pork. Avoid hot dogs with fillers or additives.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the hot dogs. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the grate.
  • Cook the hot dogs over direct heat: Place the hot dogs directly over the heat source on your grill. This will help them to cook evenly and develop a nice char.
  • Turn the hot dogs frequently: Use tongs to turn the hot dogs every few minutes to ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Don't overcook the hot dogs: Hot dogs are best when they are cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Let the hot dogs rest: After grilling, let the hot dogs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the hot dog, making it even more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled hot dogs are a classic summer food that is enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. With the right tips and techniques, you can grill the perfect hot dogs that will be the hit of your next cookout.
