Best Papas Hellish Relish For Hot Dogs Recipes

HOT DOGS WITH HOMEMADE TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• For the tomato relish, fold a 36x18-inch piece of heavy foil in half to make an 18x18-inch square. In a medium bowl combine 2 cups of the tomatoes, the onion, garlic, oregano, mustard, water, salt, brown sugar and pepper. Place mixture in center of the foil. Bring up two opposite edges of the foil; seal with a double fold. Fold the remaining edges to enclose the mixture, leaving space for steam to build.
• For a charcoal grill, place the foil packet on a grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill for 10 minutes; turn packet. Grill about 10 minutes more or until onion is tender. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place foil packet on grill rack directly over heat. Cover and grill as above.).
• Meanwhile, place hot dogs on grill rack around foil packet; grill for 5 to 7 minutes or until heated through, turning occasionally.
• Carefully open rellish packet and stir remaining 1 cut tomato halves and the grapes into hot relish mixture. Place hot dogs in toasted buns; serve tomato relish with the hot dogs.

THE BEST RELISH I'VE EVER HAD

Steps:

• Grate the cucumbers and onions into a large bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle the pickling salt over the top. Cover tightly, and allow to rest at room temperature overnight.
• Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the cucumber mixture; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, flour, turmeric, ginger, and celery seed. Heat the vinegar and water in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the sugar mixture until smooth. Stir in the cucumber mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process pint jars for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOG WITH HOMEMADE RELISH

Steps:

• Set up a large pot with a steamer insert and steam the franks until warm, about 5 minutes. When the franks are almost done, place the buns on top of the franks to steam, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the franks in the buns and top each with some of the onions, 2 peppers, some Homemade Bread and Butter Relish and slather with mustard. To serve, top the franks with a handful of Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt, wrap each frank in foil and let steam, 2 to 3 minutes, before eating. Eat on the towel-lined trunk of a car.
• Combine the pickles, peppers and sugar in a bowl and mix well. Serve.
• Fill a 6-quart heavy pot or Dutch oven two-thirds of the way full with oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Fry the potatoes in batches, until golden brown, 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with celery salt and serve immediately.

CABBAGE DOGS (HOT DOGS)

Steps:

• In a large no-stick skillet, over medium heat, pour in the olive oil and after it begins to shimmer (about 2 minutes), add all other ingredients except for the water. Carefully blend the ingredients with a large spoon.
• Saute for five minutes uncopvered. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and allow the blend to continue cooking until the cabbage and onions are tender. Stir occassionally. (Five minutes after the skillet is first covered, add the water and continue cooking until the vegetables tenderize and until most of the water evaporates -- you can crack the lid just a bit to make this happen faster.)
• The total cooking time covered is about 10-15 minutes.
• Place weiner pieces on a bun and top with the cooked cabbage and onions. Add a little mustard to the hot dog if you wish, and serve.
• NOTE: You can actually double or triple the number of hot dog pieces in this mix if you're feeding a crowd. There will be plenty of cabbage for the toppings. Also adjust the hot pepper sauce, adding more or less, to meet your family's personal tastes. Using Tabasco instead of Frank's brand pepper sauce will make it twice as hot.
