sugar

Worcestershire sauce

Heat the oil in a medium pan and fry the onion for 5 mins until softened and lightly golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for a further min. Mix in the tomatoes and sugar, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 mins. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce and season to taste. This basic sauce can now be chilled or frozen, see recipe intro.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Heat the grill to high. Mix together the cheese and breadcrumbs.

Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce. Tip in the frankfurters and spoon into a heatproof dish. Scatter over the cheesy crumbs and grill for 3-5 mins or until bubbling hot and golden. Serve with a simple salad.

There&#039;s no need to travel to Windy City for a bite of an authentic Chicago hot dog.

Classic Chicago Hot Dog Recipe

beef

poppy seed bun

yellow mustard

sweet pickle relish

white Spanish onion

Roma tomatoes

pickled sport peppers

kosher cucumber

celery salt

Prep. Cut the stem off the end of the tomato and squeeze it over the trash can ejecting the seeds. Chop the tomato into 1/4&quot; (6.4 mm) chunks. Dice the onion.

Cook. For the classic dirty water dog, bring enough water to cover the dog to a boil, then cut back to a simmer. Simmer, never boil, the dog for 10 minutes.

For a char dog, use a technique I learned from Gold Coast Dogs. Cut an X shape in the ends of the dog. When they cook they will curl up and get extra crispy. Cook the dogs over a medium high grill until the skin darkens and there are nice grill marks all around.

Traditional Chicago Hot Dog buns are steamed. Click here for tips on how to prepare your buns.

Serve. To serve a Chicago dog, begin by placing the frankfurter on the bun. Squirt the mustard on the dog on one side between the meat and the bun. Spread the relish between the meat and the bun on the opposite side of the mustard. Sprinkle the chopped onions on top of the mustard. Distribute the tomato chunks all around. Place the peppers on top of the tomatoes. Place the spear on top of the onions and mustard. Sprinkle the celery salt on top of the vegetation. Absolutely, positively, no ketchup. Fohgeddaboudit. Now serve and enjoy.
