Hotdog
The delightful and classic Danish dish: "Hotdog" is always a sure hit in most Danish homes. Our version comes with homemade sausage buns, grilled sausages, homemade pickled cucumber salad, homemade remoulade, coarse mustard, onions, crispy onions, and ketchup.
Ingredients
- 8 pcs. Bread Preferably homemade hotdog buns/sausage buns
- 8 pcs. Sausages Grilled sausages
- Ketchup To taste
- remoulade - danish cold mayonnaise sauce with pickles To taste. Preferably homemade
- Mustard Preferably coarse
- 1 pcs. Onion Finely chopped
Roasted onions
- 52 gram Wheat Flour
- 6 gram Salt
- 1.15 gram Pepper From grinder
- 1 pcs. Onion Preferably large
Pickled Cucumber
- 200 gram Vinegar Clear vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 200 gram Water
- 170 gram Sugar
- 2.3 gram Peppercorns Black
- 2 pcs. Bay Leaf
- Coarse salt
- 1 pcs. Cucumber
Instructions
- When I make this dish, I always start with the pickling and baking of the bread.
- Both benefit from sitting for a bit before you eat. The cucumber salad can advantageously be made the day before, as it only gets better from sitting and soaking.
Cucumber salad
- Cut the cucumber into thin slices and sprinkle salt over them. Place them in a sieve and let them sit for 20-30 minutes. This removes some of the liquid and makes them firmer.
- Bring all the other ingredients to a boil in a pot and let it cool. If you are in a hurry, pour the liquid into a bowl with a large surface area and place it in the refrigerator.
- Once the liquid is at room temperature, rinse the cucumbers in cold water to wash away all the salt.
- Dry them off and place them in a pickling jar. Make sure the jar is scalded beforehand.
- Pour the liquid over the cucumbers and refrigerate. They can last about 1 month this way.
Crispy onions
- It sounds complicated to make, but it is incredibly easy - especially if you have a deep fryer to help.
- Peel an onion and cut it into thin rings.
- Put flour, salt, and pepper in a small bag and add the onion to it.
- Close the bag and shake it well, so the flour is evenly distributed on the onion.
- Pour the contents of the bag through a sieve and shake a few times - this removes most of the excess flour.
- Fry the onions for 3-5 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) in a deep fryer.
- Take them out of the fryer and place them on absorbent paper until ready to serve.
Hotdog buns
- The hotdog buns are made according to this recipe. Make the whole batch and freeze half of them – that way you have a quick dinner ready another day.
- Toast them on a toaster or grill for a few minutes on each side before serving.
Grilled sausages
- In our opinion, sausages should be fried/grilled over high heat until they crack. This usually takes 4-6 minutes on each side.
Sides
- If you are not a big fan of cucumber salad, it can be replaced with pickled red onions or onion marmalade.
- For the raw onions, simply peel them and chop them as finely as you like.
Serving
- Cut the bread lengthwise with a bread knife. Be careful not to cut too deep, so they split in half.
- Spread mustard on the inside and place the sausage in it.
- Add a stripe of ketchup between the bread and sausage on one side and a stripe of remoulade on the other side.
- Add crispy and raw onions along with the cucumber salad and serve immediately.
- Remember, there is no neat way to eat a hotdog, so it's okay if it gets a little messy.
- Enjoy.
