Hot Dog

Ingredients

• 0.5 cups white onion – finely chopped
• 8 cups water
• 8 each hot dog sausages
• 8 each hot dog buns
• yellow mustard – for serving
• sweet pickle relish – for serving

Instructions

1. Finely chop the onion and set aside.
2. Add the water to a medium pot and bring to a bare simmer over medium heat (180–190°F). Do not let it boil.
3. Slip in the hot dog sausages and cook at a gentle simmer until heated through and plump, 5–7 minutes; adjust heat to keep the water just below a boil.
4. Warm the hot dog buns by holding them over the steaming pot in a steamer basket or colander until soft, 30–60 seconds.
5. Place each hot dog sausage into a warmed bun. Add yellow mustard, spoon on sweet pickle relish, and sprinkle with the chopped onion to taste. Serve immediately.
