Recipe: Hawaiian Hot Dog

29 December 2021

It’s no coincidence we recommend every hospitality entrepreneur to put hot dogs on the menu. There’s no dish as easy to customize and adjust to the season as the Gourmet Hot Dog. With a tasty bun, a quality sausage, and changing toppings, you can easily follow food trends and flavor preferences. Today’s feature: the Hawaiian—with pineapple and bacon!

Pineapple on hot, salty dishes? That could only come from America. Think of that “terrible” yet secretly delicious pizza with pineapple. It just works. The sweetness of the pineapple combined with salty bacon and spicy jalapeños makes this hot dog a real flavor bomb. And if you leave out the pineapple and replace it with frijoles and cheese, you’ve got a whole new dish. But first, let’s enjoy this Hawaiian before we get lost in all the other tempting variations.

Super quick & tropical hot dog for your food truck

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Prepare the hot dog sausage: Place the frozen pre-cooked hot dog sausage in a bain-marie until ready to use.

2. Defrost the bun: Let the Haute Dog Roll de Luxe thaw at room temperature or in the oven.

3. Prepare the toppings: Slice the pineapple and grill until nice grill marks appear. Then cut into chunks.

4. Finish the hot dog and melt the cheese:

• When ordered, wrap a slice of bacon around the hot dog sausage.
• Grill the sausage on a griddle, grill, or BBQ until the bacon is golden brown and crispy.
• Place the bacon-wrapped sausage in an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with MexMix Cheddar, and briefly bake in a hot oven until the cheese melts.

5. Assemble the hot dog:

• Open the bun and place the bacon-wrapped sausage inside.
• Add the grilled pineapple chunks.
• Garnish with jalapeños and sweet & sour onions.
• Finish with a zigzag of Hemp Sauce.
