Description

Juicy beef chipolata sausages served in buttery mini rolls with tangy sauerkraut, sweet caramelized onions, and a drizzle of German mustard — a simple yet flavorful twist on classic hot dogs.


Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

5 brown onions, halved and thinly sliced

1/2 cup stock (vegetable or beef)

Olive oil cooking spray

16 beef chipolata sausages

410 g can sauerkraut, drained

16 mini hot dog rolls, split and buttered

German mustard, to serve


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and toss to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until softened.
  2. Remove lid, add stock, and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden and caramelized.
  3. Meanwhile, spray a large frying pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add chipolata sausages and cook, turning often, for about 12 minutes or until cooked through.
  4. To assemble, divide sauerkraut, caramelized onions, and sausages among the buttered rolls. Serve with a drizzle of German mustard.

Notes

For a lighter version, use chicken or turkey sausages.

Add chili mustard or sriracha for a spicy kick.

Top with melted cheese or crunchy pickles for extra flavor.

Grill sausages instead of pan-frying for a smoky taste.

Drain sauerkraut and onions well before assembling to prevent soggy rolls.
