American hotdogs with peppers & onions
Adding grilled sweet peppers to a Kiwi version of the American hotdog will keep them coming back for more.
Ingredients
- 6 long rolls (or hotdog rolls)
- 6 sausages or frankfurters
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 capsicum (bell pepper) diced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1-2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- tomato or BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Split the rolls lengthways across the top taking care not to slice all the way through.
- BBQ the sausages/frankfurters over a medium heat, browning on all sides until cooked through (approximately 10-12 minutes for sausages, less for frankfurters).
- On the hotplate or in a pan on the BBQ, fry the onions and peppers with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar until soft.
- Warm the rolls on the BBQ rack (or for a few minutes in a low heat oven).
- Open up the roll, add a squirt of sauce, add a sausage/frankfurter and top with onions and peppers.
Notes
For a variation, grill corn on the cob, slice off the kernels and add them to the hotdog topping. Or try fried mushrooms instead of peppers.
