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.

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the water and cornstarch in a bowl and whisk it until there are no more lumps. Whisk in the tomato paste, balsamic, mustard, brown sugar, hot sauce, and cinnamon.
  • 2. Warm the oil in a large skillet, not a non-stick, over medium high heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with the salt. This helps pull the moisture out.

Categories     Spreads

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced and chopped
4 c water
2 Tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp corn syrup
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 c vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute sliced onion in the oil for 5 minutes, until onions are soft, but not brown.
  • 2. Add water, tomato paste, corn syrup, cornstarch, salt and red pepper flakes, and stir. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
  • 3. Add vinegar. Continue to simmer for an additional 30 to 45 minutes or until most of the liquid has reduced and the sauce is thick.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, sweet Vidalia onions. They have a milder flavor than other onions and will not overpower the other ingredients in the sauce.
  • Slice the onions thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the onions slowly over low heat. This will allow them to caramelize and develop a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to the onions while they are cooking. This will help them caramelize even more and give the sauce a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use a good quality beef broth. This will add a lot of flavor to the sauce.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the sauce hot over hot dogs, hamburgers, or other grilled meats.

Conclusion:

This Sabrett-style New York onion sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make condiment that is perfect for hot dogs, hamburgers, and other grilled meats. The sauce is made with fresh, sweet Vidalia onions that are caramelized and then simmered in a beef broth. It is seasoned with salt, pepper, and a little bit of sugar. The sauce is thick and flavorful, and it will add a delicious touch to any grilled meat.
