Beef Sausage Hot Dogs With Basil & Lemon Mayonnaise image

My adaptation of one of several "sizzling sausages" recipes in this week's issue of the Australian magazine 'New Idea'. The cooking editor - Barbara Notrhwood - says "Embrace the great Aussie tradition! Throw a snag on the barbie this summer and whip up one of these tasty, budget-friendly meals". A snag BTW is an Australian slang term for a sausage. I'd certainly be interested to know if the term is used anywhere else in the world! This recipe she's costed as $A2.55 a serve. She includes "chips, to serve" which I've omitted. My other changes wouldn't make an appreciable difference to the costing. By any reckoning, a tasty, budget-conscious, 2009-savvy recipe.

Time 25m

Yield 4 Beef Sausage Hot Dogs with Basil & Lemon Mayonnais, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 thick beef sausages
1/4 cup tomato chutney
1/4 cup tasty cheese, grated
4 long crispy bread rolls (I recommend ciabatta)
1 tomatoes, halved, thinly sliced
1/4 cucumber, peeled if your cucumber is not a thin-skinned variety, thinly sliced (optional)
baby spinach leaves, to serve
sea salt, to taste (optional)
fresh ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
basil, &
1/2 cup whole egg mayonnaise
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
sea salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • To make the Basil & Lemon Mayonnaise, place all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir until they are well-combined; set aside while you cook the sausages.
  • Cook the sausages under a medium to hot grill, turning occasionally, until they have browned all over and are cooked right through, or if it's summer and you have a BBQ, bung them on the barbie (Aussie for "put them on the barbecue").
  • Cut lengthways slits in the sausages, three-quarters of the way through; divide the chutney evenly among the sausages (in the slits) and sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the chutney.
  • Return the sausages to the grill (or the barbie) and cook them for a further 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • Cut the rolls lengthways in half, being careful not to cut them all the way through; spread the cut sides with the Basil & Lemon Mayonnaise; divide the tomato slices (and cucumber slices if you're using cucumber) between the rolls; add the optional salt and pepper (if using) on the tomato (and cucumber) slices, sausages and baby spinach leaves evenly between the rolls; and serve.

I'm not a huge fan of hot dogs, but I really enjoyed these. The beef sausage was really good quality and the basil lemon mayonnaise was the perfect topping.
