So Aarti from Food Network made this hot dog dish that her mom, Rose, made for her growing up. I thought it would be a really fun dish to make for the boys since they would eat hot dogs all day, everyday if I let them. It was really easy. As you read the recipe think of what you can add to it to fit you family's likes. First she sauteed some onions. Then she added grated carrots and let them cook a bit. Then she added diced tomatoes, sliced ginger and garlic, a bunch of Indian spices, ketchup, sliced hot dogs, and a bit of water. I don't have many Indian spices and my boys are not really fans of onions or tomatoes so here is what I did for me and my boys.
1/2 onion diced
1 carrot, diced or grated
1/2 cup pinto beans roughly chopped
a little garlic
1/4-1/2 cup ketchup, depends on how tomatoey you like it
dash apple cider vinegar
3 hot dogs, halved length wise then sliced into 1/4ish pieces
curry powder
ginger powder
salt
pepper
Saute onions a few minutes in olive oil then add carrots and beans. Saute till carrots are tender crisp. Add garlic. If you want tomatoes add diced tomatoes now. Allow tomatoes to soften a bit. You could also just add fresh tomatoes to individual dishes when you serve it. Add ketchup, vinegar, curry to taste, ginger to taste (every one's tastes are different, especially with spices like these), salt, pepper and hot dogs. You will need to add a little water and maybe more ketchup to make it saucy. It should be like a thick gravy for the hot dogs. Aarti served hers in pita halves but I didn't have any so I put it over rice. You can serve it on Na an, or another flat bread. You can use all beef hot dogs, brats, or sausages. Or, skip the hot dogs altogether and use chicken. If you find something that makes it better or a different way to do it, let me know!
