Chicago-Style Hot Dogs

People
Serves 8
Prep Time
10 min.
Grilling Time
4 to 5 min.

the Ingredients

  • medium tomatoes, cut crosswise into 0.5 centimetre slices
  • all-beef hot dogs, each about 115 grams
  • hot dog buns, preferably poppy seed, split
  • pepperoncini or sport peppers
  • dill pickles, cut into spears
  • 60 grams finely chopped yellow onion
  • 245 grams sweet pickle relish, preferably emerald green Chicago-style relish
  • Yellow mustard
  • Celery salt

Instructions

  • 01 Cut each tomato slice in half to make half-moons.
  • 02 Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180°C to 230°C).
  • 03 Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the hot dogs over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes, turning once. During the last 30 seconds of grilling time, toast the buns, cut-side down, over direct heat.
  • 04 Place a grilled hot dog in each bun with two tomato slices, two peppers, a pickle spear, chopped onion, pickle relish and mustard. Finish with a generous dash of celery salt. Serve warm.

TASTY TIPS

  • Have all your delicious toppings ready even before the dogs hit the grill! 
  • Are your hotdogs burnt on the outside and cold on the inside? Stop cooking on a high flame. Grilling on a medium flame or even indirect heat for a longer period will ensure a hot hotdog all the way through. 
  • Don't burn your mouth due to excitement of eating a delicious hot dog!!!
