I have pretty basic tastes when it comes to hot dogs. Give me a hot dog and a bun and maybe some mustard and I'm good to go. But this recipe from Cooking For 2 seems rather interesting.
They're called Red Dogs, and they're turkey hot dogs that are cooked with currant jelly and Dijon mustard.
Red Dogs
8 turkey hot dogs, sliced on the bias, 8 pieces each
8 oz currant jelly
2 T Dijon mustard
In a medium saucepan, melt down the currant jelly over medium heat. Whisk in the Dijon mustard. Once fully incorporated, dump in the hot dog slices.
Cover the pot and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Note: Hot dogs will puff up. This is normal.
Serve with remaining sauce on the side.
