Hot Dog Tartare

My take on classic Steak Tartare...Hot Dog Tartare. It's easy to make and perfect for summer. Enjoy!

Hot Dog Tartare

1 lb. "raw" hot dogs
2 T yellow mustard
2 T sweet relish
1 T ketchup

1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup sauerkraut squeezed dry and chopped fine
1 fried egg

Finely chop the hot dogs. Mix the chopped hot dogs, mustard, sweet relish, and ketchup together. Put in refrigerator to chill at least two hours.

To serve: Mound the Hot Dog Tartare on a chilled plate. Place the chopped onions on one side of the Hot Dog Tartare, the chopped sauerkraut on the other. Top the Hot Dog Tartare with the fried egg.

Serve with toasted thin slices of hot dog bun.

Chili Dog Tartare

Omit the mustard, relish, and ketchup and mix the chopped hot dogs with a 1/2 cup of cold chili. Replace the chopped sauerkraut with 1/4 finely diced American cheese.
