New York Pushcart Onions (For Hot Dogs) image

I am a Canadian who spent 6 winters in Florida, and while there I met a person from New York (Brian). I did the cooking for most parties at the park, including snacks for our golf group which met twice a week after golf. Brian told me about the Push Cart Onions and I tried them with the group. They loved them. You can play with this recipe to suit your taste. Add more or less sugar, maybe a little more hot sauce, etc.

NEW YORK-STYLE HOT DOGS



New York-Style Hot Dogs image

Nothing says summer like a hot dog! It's one of those foods that kick-starts a season, and a NY-style dog is always my first choice. I have such great memories of living in New York City and having a hot dog at a baseball game, or for a late-night snack or just grabbing one from a cart while walking around the city. Once I moved to California I had to learn how to make the iconic sweet onions coated in tangy tomato sauce myself. Now the traditional New York-style hot dog can welcome me to summer every year.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 small sweet onions, such as Maui or Vidalia, each about 5 ounces, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 hot dogs
4 hot dog buns

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, stir in the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring every minute or so, until the onions have softened and begin to caramelize, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, stirring until the onions are completely coated. Cook until the tomato paste deepens in color, about 1 minute. Stir in the vinegar, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Stir in 1 cup of water, the sugar and garlic powder. Raise the heat to medium and bring to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens enough so a spoon leaves behind a trail, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
  • While the onions simmer, place the hot dogs on a baking sheet and bake until heated through and they begin to brown on the bottoms, about 10 minutes, flipping once about halfway through the cooking time. If you like, open the hot dog buns and toast the buns alongside the dogs for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  • Place the hot dogs in the buns and top with the onions. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, sweet onions. Vidalia, Walla Walla, and Maui onions are all good choices.
  • Slice the onions thinly so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or griddle for cooking the onions. This will help them develop a nice caramelized crust.
  • Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the onions will steam instead of caramelizing.
  • Be patient! Caramelizing onions takes time. It can take up to an hour to get the onions to the desired color and flavor.
  • Use caramelized onions as a topping for hot dogs, hamburgers, bratwurst, or sandwiches. They can also be added to salads, soups, and stews.
  • Store leftover caramelized onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. They are especially popular as a topping for hot dogs, hamburgers, and other grilled meats. With a little time and patience, you can easily make your own caramelized onions at home. So next time you are looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your meal, give caramelized onions a try!
