Chicago-Style Hot Dog with Homemade Relish image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 natural casing all-beef franks
4 fresh hot dog buns
1 small white onion, finely chopped
8 jarred sport pickled peppers (or sub pickled hot peppers)
Homemade Bread and Butter Relish, for serving, recipe follows
Yellow mustard, for slathering
Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt, for serving, recipe follows
1 cup bread and butter pickles, finely diced
1 tablespoon pickled cherry peppers, finely diced
1 teaspoon sugar
Vegetable oil
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
Celery salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Set up a large pot with a steamer insert and steam the franks until warm, about 5 minutes. When the franks are almost done, place the buns on top of the franks to steam, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the franks in the buns and top each with some of the onions, 2 peppers, some Homemade Bread and Butter Relish and slather with mustard. To serve, top the franks with a handful of Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt, wrap each frank in foil and let steam, 2 to 3 minutes, before eating. Eat on the towel-lined trunk of a car.
  • Combine the pickles, peppers and sugar in a bowl and mix well. Serve.
  • Fill a 6-quart heavy pot or Dutch oven two-thirds of the way full with oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
  • Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Fry the potatoes in batches, until golden brown, 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with celery salt and serve immediately.

LYNDA'S FAVORITE ZUCCHINI HOT DOG RELISH



Lynda's Favorite Zucchini Hot Dog Relish image

We love to add relish to our hot dogs. But we've never had one with zucchini, so this recipe intrigued us. We loved it! The flavors are tasty and it really gives the hot dog an extra zing. Try it on beans and vegetables, too.

Provided by Lynda Kolbinskie

Categories     Other Sauces

Time 15h

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 c ground zucchini (skin on)
4 Tbsp salt (I use pickling)
dash(es) garlic salt (to your taste!)
4 c ground onion (I like Vidalia's!)
1 large chopped red pepper
5 c sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp nutmeg (ground)
1/2 tsp pepper (black or white)
1 large chopped green pepper
2 c white vinegar
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp corn starch
2 tsp celery seed

Steps:

  • 1. Grind 10 cups of zucchini and place in large pot (with a lid). Add the salt and garlic salt. Cover with cold water and soak overnight. (I add lots of ice cubes and place pot in a cool place. If not, put it in the fridge!)
  • 2. The following morning, drain and rinse well in a large colander. Return to pot and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Seal in jars while the relish is very hot.
  • 3. Place jars in canning pot and cover with water. Boil the submerged jars for at least 15-20 minutes to make sure seals are airtight. Remove jars from canning pot with tongs and place on a towel in your sink until they cool (this prevents jars from cracking).
  • 4. After opening a jar of relish, store opened jars in the fridge!

Provided by Jan W

Categories     Other Sauces

Time 14h

Number Of Ingredients 14

************RELISH************
4 large onions
4 c ground cabbage
10 large green tomatoes
12 green bell peppers
6 sweet red bell peppers
1/2 c table salt
************SYRUP************
6 c granulated sugar
1 Tbsp celery seed
2 Tbsp mustard seeds
1-1/2 tsp turmeric, ground
4 c white vinegar
2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and cut vegetables in large chunks. Old method uses a hand grinder, but I do it now in my KA food processor. Grind all ingredients and place in a large stainless steel kettle. Add 1/2 cup table salt; cover and let stand overnight. Then, rinse well in strainer/colander. Return to kettle.
  • 2. Combine all syrup ingredients in glass or stainless steel bowl, then add to rinsed vegetables in kettle. Heat to almost boiling, then let simmer 3 minutes.
  • 3. Wash pint jars in hot, soapy water to sterilize. Boil lids & rings in hot water. Put relish into hot sterile jars, leave about 1" headspace and wipe rims well. Place lids and rings on, making sure they are tightly sealed. Set on rack or towels, let cool. As they seal, you will hear lids popping. Store in cool place.
  • 4. We always at least double this recipe, sometimes triple it if all vegetables are available. Can also put in quart jars, if desired.
