Lefse Hot Dogs with Fennel Slaw image

These are inspired by the street hot dogs they serve in Norway, that come wrapped in a flatbread that is similar to lefse. Lefse is a Norwegian flatbread made with riced potatoes. They sell it here in the supermarket, but if you can't find it you can substitute your favorite flour tortillas-or try making make lefse; I have a fun recipe!

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large bulb fennel, thinly sliced (about 2 cups), plus 1/4 cup fennel fronds
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons lingonberry preserves
6 hot dogs
Vegetable oil, as needed
Six 6-inch pieces lefse (or 6-inch flour tortillas), warmed

Steps:

  • Combine the sour cream, cider vinegar, celery seeds, a pinch of salt and some pepper in a medium bowl. Add the fennel, fronds and onion and toss together. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
  • Whisk together the mustard and lingonberry preserves in a small bowl.
  • Heat a cast-iron grill pan over high heat.
  • Split the hot dogs almost in half lengthwise. Oil the grill pan, then grill the hot dogs on the first side until charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill on the second side until charred and heated through, another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add each hot dog to a warmed piece of lefse, then top with the lingonberry mustard sauce and fennel slaw.
