NEW YORK HOT DOG CART ONION SAUCE



New York Hot Dog Cart Onion Sauce image

Born in the Bronx, raised in Queens. My father worked for Pan Am in the day (data Control), drove a New York Cab at night, and on the weekends he owned a New York Hot Dog Cart. Before he passed away in February of 2004, he did give me the recipe to the Onion Sauce. When everybody else is saying to use pasta sauce, and this and that, the truth is there are only six ingredients. Bobby Flay is about the only one who got it close. In New York a true New York Hot Dog ordered from a cart is, Nathan Hot Dogs, Mustard, Onion Sauce, and topped with Sauerkraut. I wanted to write this recipe for a long time but after seeing so many Onion Sauce recipes, and hearing how so many people are from New York, it is time to post the original recipe.

  • This is the true recipe for Onion Sauce for New York Hot dogs.
  • When I use the sauerkraut I boil it with added water to make it softer.

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.

Provided by Food Network

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 a classic NY dog, use a natural casing hot dog.
  • Boil the hot dogs before grilling to prevent them from splitting.
  • Grill the hot dogs over medium-high heat until they are slightly charred.
  • Serve the hot dogs on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings.
  • Some popular toppings for NY dogs include sauerkraut, mustard, onions, and relish.

Conclusion:

The NY dog is a delicious and iconic New York City street food. With its simple yet flavorful ingredients, it's no wonder that this hot dog has become a favorite of locals and tourists alike. Whether you're enjoying it at a street fair, a sporting event, or just in your own backyard, the NY dog is sure to satisfy.
