- 3½ tablespoon dill pickle relish, save 3 tablespoons
- 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup dill pickle juice
- 4 hotdog buns of choice
- 2 tablespoons butter
Saucy Salsa:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ head red cabbage, julienned
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 (10 oz.) can of canned corn, or 2 grilled corn cobs
- ¼ cup thousand island dressing
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickled jalapeno pepper relish
- 5 gherkins pickles, cut into long strips
Garnishes (optional)
- Cilantro
- Green onions
Directions
- In a medium bowl, add the pork sausage, ½ tablespoon dill pickle relish, sweet pickle relish, black pepper, red pepper flakes, sea salt, mustard powder and green onions. Use hands to blend.
- Evenly divide the meat and shape into the form of a hotdog, about the length of the bun. Place in freezer on parchment paper for 10 to15 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, start the salsa. In a medium size pan, add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and cook the cabbage and onion for a few minutes over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the corn until the corn has warmed. Remove to a separate bowl and stir in the thousand island dressing, relishes, and gherkins. Set aside.
- In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil, and sear the pork dogs over medium heat, rolling to brown them on all sides, about 6 minutes.
- In a separate small stock pot, heat the pickle juice and remaining 3 tablespoons dill pickle relish. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and add the pan seared dogs for a few minutes. Remove to paper towels.
- Butter and toast the buns, add the pork dog, top with saucy salsa and garnish with cilantro leaves and green onions! Enjoy!
