TRIPLE PLAY HOT DOGS

Our Triple Play Hot Dogs are a twist on the classic ballpark favourite. It's a gourmet hot dog that combines juicy tenderness, a satisfying crunch and gentle aromatic garlic notes. What more could you ask for in a gourmet dog? Toppings, and we have a few ideas for those, too. 

INGREDIENTS:
All beef hot dogs (or veggie dogs are great, too)
Garlic-infused extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Hot dog buns (your choice)

DIRECTIONS:
Simmer hot dogs in gently boiling water for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Remove from pot and set aside until cool enough to handle. Using a sharp knife, make cross-hatch cuts on the surface of each hot dog. This will create a diamond pattern and allow for better browning and flavour absorption. Heat a cast-iron pan on on the stovetop or grill on medium-high. Drizzle Garlic EVOO into the pan. Place the cross-hatched hot dogs in the pan. Sear turning occasionally, until they develop a nice brown crust on all sides (about 3-5 minutes). During the searing process, continue to drizzle Garlic EVOO over the hot dogs for added flavour. Serve in buns and add your favourite toppings. Tip: Brush EVOO on inside of bun surface and place on the upper grate or on low for a minute or so until golden. 

TRANSFORM THE GROOVES
Take ordinary condiments like mustard, mayo, relish and ketchup and turn them into gourmet toppings with a simple stir. Spread into grooves for maximum impact. 

Fig & Herb Relish: Sweet pickle relish + Fig balsamic + Rosemary EVOO creates this amazing sweet-savoury-herby combo. 

BBQ Ketchup: Ketchup + Fig balsamic = instant gourmet BBQ sauce that's sweet and tangy.

Lemon Herb Mayo: Store-bought mayo + Basil EVOO + Lemon balsamic makes a bright, creamy spread that's like summer in a jar.

Tuscan Mustard: Grainy mustard + Tuscan Herb EVOO transforms into a fancy deli spread. 

🌽 Fancy Corn Relish: Store-bought corn relish + Lemon balsamic + a touch of Basil EVOO is a fresh, bright gourmet topping.
