Spicy Pickled Hot Dog Recipes

FIRESIDE HOT DOGS WITH SPICY CHIPS

Steps:

• For the spicy chips: Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Spray the tortilla chips with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with the chili-lime powder and toss to combine. Transfer the chips to a baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes.
• For the hot dogs: Heat a medium, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until all the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce, lime juice and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Cook for 30 seconds and turn off the heat. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Using the same pan, cook the hot dogs over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and wrap tightly with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• To assemble each hot dog, spread some mayonnaise on each bun. Put a hot dog in each bun, top with the onion mixture and crumbled Spicy Chips and serve with ketchup and mustard.

SPICY PICKLED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Submerge 3 pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
• Combine vinegar, water, and pickling salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot and add 1/3 of crushed red and cayenne peppers to each. Pack green beans into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace.
• Slowly pour hot brine over beans, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Slip in additional beans if space allows; check headspace again and add more brine if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from top.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and bands (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
• Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.
