For the mango chutney:
- 3 mangoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup dried pineapple, chopped
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp dry mustard powder
- 1/4 tsp hot red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt, to taste
For the chipotle aioli:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely minced
- 1 tsp adobo sauce (from the can)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 small garlic clove, grated or minced
- Salt, to taste
For assembly:
- 4 hot dog buns (pretzel buns work great)
- 4 pork sausages
- 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
- Small handful of fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Make the mango chutney
- In a medium pot over high heat, combine the mango, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil. Add the remaining chutney ingredients and reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minutes, until the mango breaks down and the chutney thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
Make the chipotle aioli
- Stir together the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt. Taste and adjust heat level by adding more chipotle if desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Grill the sausages
- Heat a grill to 400°F. Cook the sausages over direct heat for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through, turning occasionally.
- Toast the buns on the grill over indirect heat for about 1 minute per side, until lightly browned.
- Assemble: place a sausage in each bun and top with a generous spoonful of mango chutney, a drizzle of chipotle aioli, and a scatter of green onion and cilantro.
Notes
The chutney can be made a day or two ahead — the flavors improve with time. You can control the sweetness by adjusting the ratio of mango to pineapple, and dial the heat up or down with more or fewer red pepper flakes.
