Chilli Dogs
Photography Josh Griggs.
An American classic, the chilli dog is a hot frankfurter in a warm bun, smothered in beef chilli and topped with sour cream, cheese and pickles. What’s not to love about these babies?
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
500 grams beef mince
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon Mexican spice mix (I used Tío Pablo Mexican Chilpotle de Plata)
sea salt
1 cup crushed tinned tomatoes
To serve
4 long hotdog rolls, warmed in the oven
4 long frankfurters, heated according to the packet instructions
sour cream; grated cheddar cheese; sliced zucchini pickles; and chilli powder
METHOD
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high and add the mince, garlic
and spice mix and season generously with salt. Cook for 5 minutes, breaking up the meat with a large fork. Add the tomatoes and continue to cook over a high heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes until thick and reduced.
To serve:Split the buns then spread with sour cream. Place a frankfurter in each bun and spoon over the chilli. Top with more sour cream, cheese and pickles then a pinch of chilli powder.
