Forget The Mess!

Hi everybody Welcome to the messy cook by Dale thanks so much for hanging out with me today and we are continuing in our series of food truck street food recipes and today we have a classic the New York style hot dog everybody loves hot dogs right what we were going to do

At the New York style way um it starts with making an onion sauce and that’s what we’re gonna do and what I have in here are two medium onions and I fried them up until they were soft a little bit Brown and to this I’m going

To be adding a half a cup of water like this a quarter of a cup of ketchup what makes this different from other hot dogs in North America particularly is this sauce it is a New York staple okay so that’s going to get going a little bit

To that we’re going to be adding some chili and I’ll tell you how much chili a half a teaspoon of chili the metric measurements are going to be in the uh the recipe below there’s a half a teaspoon of chili so a little bit of heat there

A half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon sure this is cleaned off [Applause] it’s a nice sweet sauce beautiful all right next we have a honey we’re going to be putting in two tablespoons of honey I like to use the organic honey so there’s one and there’s two

All right then you want to come in to show this looks delicious and it smells wonderful okay so this is going to we’re going to keep it on on simmer and we’re going to cook it for a good 10 minutes and it until it reduces quite considerably so you’ll have to watch it

And make sure it it reduces well and then you want to be able to keep it in the fridge like for a few hours I think that would be nice because then it really just everything just comes together all the flavors um so what I’ve done is I’ve made this

Batch but I’ve made a batch beforehand and this is how it looks when it’s all been reduced lovely smells so good okay so oh I’m gonna put a little bit of salt in here too and some black pepper there we go oh the Tabasco goes in I think you’re

Right the best Tabasco goes in uh no two shots of that all right so we got everything in there so that’s going to do its thing that’s for the hot dog itself okay so in true uh messy cook style we are going to elevate this a little bit and use

Bootyash buns okay so the thing that makes um New York City I style hot dogs is that the fact that they’re boiled now we live in Quebec we live in Montreal and we love our steamies and they’re steamed not boiled but these are boiled that makes them

Very specific and we use kosher hot dogs all right so these have been boiled and we start by putting the the wiener inside of the bun we’re going to use now you can use regular mustard or you can use Dijon mustard we are going to use the um uh

Old style uh mustard yeah it’s grainy grainy mustard so we’re gonna use that because that’s traditionally what they use okay so we’ll put a little bit on the bottom here I mean I’m gonna put the other one in here this is Staple in New York City and uh

Actually I was through Canada too we love here in Montreal we love our spring and summer and fall and before you know it before even the snow is gone we’re on our Terraces or our patios and we’re eating in street food and and whatever we can because we love our summers

So we have a great um community of food trucks here in Montreal all right next we’re going to then put on the onion sauce which is at room temperature look at this Mamma Mia there we go and sauerkraut this is an option but in New York they love their sauerkraut and

They put sauerkraut on top as well look at this then do you believe this getting hungry here okay coming real close then show us what show everyone what we have here so here you have it New York style hot dogs just elevated a little bit there we go all right

  1. I grew up just south of Montreal, in New York State we LOVED our RED SKINNED HOT DOGS. I actually found these same dogs at Heid's (now gone) in Liverpool just north of Syracuse New York. I've had a New York City hotdog, but nothing can compare to the RED SKINNED HOTDOGS!!!

  2. In Australia we steam our hot dogs and I like mine in soft bun with mustard and tomato sauce and cheese. A huge staple here is a sausage sanga (sandwich) it’s a barbecued sausage on a a slice of bread with onions and barbecue sauce. We buy them from outside Bunnings hardware store every weekend. Everyone here loves the Bunnings sausage sanga.
