Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup julienned cornichons, plus 1 tablespoon pickling liquid
1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion, such as Vidalia
6 tablespoons thinly sliced sweet-hot red peppers, such as Peppadew
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 baguettes, ends trimmed
6 hot dogs (preferably nitrate-free)
Safflower oil, for grill

Steps:

Combine cornichons and liquid, onion, and peppers. Let relish sit 30 minutes, or refrigerate up to 2 hours.
Stir together mayonnaise and mustard, and refrigerate if not using immediately.
Slice baguettes horizontally but not all the way through so they open like a book (or a hot dog bun). Cut each baguette into pieces the same length as hot dogs.
Heat grill to medium-high, and brush grates with oil. Grill bread, cut side down, until just lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes, then wrap in foil to keep warm. Grill hot dogs until lightly charred on all sides and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes.
Spread inside of bread with mayonnaise mixture, and place a hot dog in each. Spoon relish over top.

Tips:

For the best grilled hot dogs, start with high-quality sausages. Look for hot dogs that are made with all-natural ingredients and have a good snap to them.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the hot dogs. This will help to prevent them from sticking and burning.
Grill the hot dogs for 6-8 minutes, turning them frequently, until they are evenly browned and cooked through.
Serve the grilled hot dogs immediately on buns with your favorite toppings, such as ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions.
If you are using wooden skewers to grill the hot dogs, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to prevent them from burning.
You can also cook hot dogs in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Just be sure to add a little water to the pan to prevent the hot dogs from sticking.
