Instructions
Make all the preparations
- Pesto sauce
- In a bowl, pour pesto and add Greek yoghurt (or mayonnaise). Combine to obtain a pesto flavored light sauce. Taste and add more pesto or yoghurt according to your taste.
- Provençal hot dog
- Cut bell pepper into strips and slice red onion. Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the vegetables, pepper on one side and onion on the other for about 15 min. Season with salt, pepper and herbes de Provence.
- Green hot dog
- Cut thin slices of radish and pickle. Cut thin strips of cucumber lengthwise (it’s easy to do with a peeler). With a peeler again roughly grate parmesan to get strips as well.
Then cook sausages and lightly toast bread
- Fry chipolata sausages in a non-stick frying pan without any fat, on one side then flip and leave them until they are cooked (about 15 minutes over medium heat).
- Meanwhile, open hot-dog breads and toast them a little bit (either in the toaster or by baking them in the oven for a few minutes).
Garnish hot dogs
- Coat the inside of the hot dogs with pesto sauce, arrange one sausage per loaf and add to your taste the toppings
- Provençal hot dog
- Place sausage, fried bell pepper and onion in the bread, sprinkle with dried fried onion.
- Green hot dog
- Place sausage, strips of cucumber, add slices of pickle and radish, sprinkle with parmesan.
Notes
The main steps: Prepare the fillings (slice ingredients, pan fry onions and bell peppers for the Provençal version). Lightly toast hot dog breads and fry sausages (on the BBQ or in a skillet). We fill hot dogs according to your taste.
