Description

Snap-happy Danish pølser get a flavor upgrade with
homemade apple ketchup and crispy fried onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 5-pack (1 5-pack) Copenhagen Street Dog røde pølser or grillpølser
  • 5 hot dog buns
  • 5 tsp of ketchup mixed with 1 tsp of apple sauce
  • 5 tsp spicy mustard
  • 5 tsp remoulade
  • 1 small chopped yellow onion
  • 5 tsp Fried Onions
  • 15-20 Sweet Pickles

Instructions

  1. For røde pølser: Add water to a large saucepan and heat until bubbling. Add the røde pølser and boil for approximately 5 minutes.
  2. For grillpølser: Heat oil or butter in a pan or on a grill. Fry the pølser for approximately 5 minutes, until dark brown and crisp on two sides.
  3. Toast hot dog buns.
  4. Top the pølser with a thin layer of ketchup, mustard, and remoulade. Scatter chopped onions on top, followed by fried onions. Finally, top with thin slices of sweet pickles.

Notes

  • For a richer apple ketchup, use a combination of applesauce and finely chopped fresh apples.
  • If you can’t find remoulade, aioli or mayonnaise mixed with chopped pickles makes a good substitute.
  • For easier assembly, prepare the toppings (chopped onions, fried onions, pickles) before cooking the hot dogs.
