Brazilian Hot Dogs

Ingredients

  • Hot Dog Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 15 oz tomato sauce

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 onion diced

  • 1 green pepper diced

  • 4 garlic cloves minced

  • 3 tsp salt or to taste

  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper or to taste

  • 1/2 tsp oregano or to taste

  • Hot Dog Assembly

  • 8 hot dogs

  • 8 hot dog buns

  • 8 oz corn canned

  • 8 oz peas canned

  • 8 oz shoestring potato sticks

  • ketchup

  • mayonnaise

  • mustard

  • parmesan cheese

  • parsley

Directions

  • First, start by chopping and dicing the green pepper, onion and mincing the garlic cloves.
  • Make a length wise cut down the center of each of your hot dogs. Do not cut through them or slice them completely.
  • Add butter to a sauce pan over medium high heat.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the green peppers and onions. Saute until the onions become translucent.
  • Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce and water. Give everything a quick stir.
  • Once the tomato sauce begins to boil, lower the heat to medium low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir the tomato sauce occasionally.
  • Toast the hot dog buns.
  • Once the tomato sauce has been simmering for 23 minutes, add the hot dogs. Cover and continue to cook for the next 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Place a hot dog inside a bun and add more tomato sauce on top.
  • Add the additional toppings to your hot dog such as peas, corn, parmesan cheese, shoestring potato sticks (batata palha), ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and even some hot sauce or pimenta malagueta if you’d like.
  • Top the hot dogs with parsley for garnishing, if desired, and enjoy!
