Sooooo, I love hot dogs. No reason to hide it. Some of you out there may frown upon the lowly hot dog, being that it's bits and pieces of this and that. Well guess what... that's pretty much what every sausage or ground meat is, but I digress. Covered in chili, microwaved with ketchup, or hot off the grill with kraut, I don't discriminate. So if any of you think you're man enough, lets see those hot dogs!
Deep Fried Hot Dogs with Goat Cheese and Habanero Relish
So my entry in the contest, which I currently enter into without any known competitors, are these beauties. A never deep fried a hot dog, so I wanted to try it. Simp left some dank goat cheese at my house and I wanted to use. I like hot stuff, so this is what I came up with, think Tempest (you cool people out there know what I'm talking about.)
So basically I deep fried a couple Nathan's hot dogs, which turned out OK, I think I prefer grilled though. I topped them with some of that lovely goat cheese, some habanero relish I made (recipe to follow), and some crispy bits of bacon. Bottom line- these were pretty frickin good. In hindsight I could have added something with a little sweetness, such as mango ketchup or even a drizzle of honey. The habanero relish was quite fiesty and definitely regretted it the next day, much like the tempest.
Habanero Relish
2- Habaneros (less or more to your liking)
1/2- Red onion
2- Cloves Garlic
1/2 Red Bell pepper
1- teaspoon or so of sugar
2- tbls or so of white wine vinegar
salt
Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend to your hearts content. Boom- Habanero relish.
