| Meal type | Condiment |
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium onions, sliced thin
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper ((chile powder is a good substitute, just not as smoky tasting)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (granulated garlic, or finely minced fresh will work fine)
- 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- dash salt
- 1/2 cup water
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook about 10 minutes until soft and starting to turn golden. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan. Stir to mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce is desired consistency. Taste for seasoning. Serve and enjoy! | |
My verdict: Delicious! I’m not sure how authentic it is, because, believe it or not, I’ve never had a hot dog from a cart in New York. Try it and let me know how he did.
