How to Make

  • FOR DOGS

  • Step 1: Prepare the grill for direct grilling over high heat. A charcoal fire is preferred, but grill on what you have available (indoor/outdoor).

  • Step 2: Carefully score the hot dogs all over in a cross-hatch pattern, creating a lattice effect using 1/8 inch deep slices about 1/4 inch apart.

  • Step 3: Use a soft spatula to spread mayonnaise on the insides of the hot dog buns.

  • Step 4: Slice the tomatoes into thin wedges.

  • Step 5: Grill the hot dogs, rolling them occasionally to deeply brown them on all sides, about 10 minutes cooking time.

  • Step 6: Lightly brown the mayonnaise-coated sides of the hot dog buns on your warming rack, or in a cooler zone of the grill.

  • Step 7: To assemble, spread or drizzle a moderate amount of remoulade in the center/bottom of the buns. Add the grilled hot dogs, sliced tomato and microgreens.

  • FOR REMOULADE

  • Step 8: Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Process until nearly smooth. Enjoy!
