Description

Inspired by the New Orleans classic sandwich, this salty and tangy topping pairs perfectly with a savory hot dog.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 16 oz jar Giardiniera, drained and finely chopped
  • 1/2 of a 5.75 oz jar Green olives sliced, drained and finely chopped
  • Hot dogs
  • Buns
  • Ketchup
  • Spicy Mustard

Instructions

  1. Put the Giardiniera (marinated veggies) and olives in a food processor and chop until you have very small pieces. (Optional: Set aside a few olives for topping if you want) This amount makes enough to top about 6 hot dogs.
  2. Grill hot dogs, my guy likes his bun grilled and I don’t…so that’s up to you.
  3. To build, put the dog in the bun, and then add the mustard and ketchup if you like, and then top with olive mixture.
  4. Enjoy!
