Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 2 cups sauerkraut
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the sauerkraut and caraway seeds (if using). Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauerkraut is heated through and slightly caramelized.
In the meantime, in another skillet or grill pan over medium heat, cook the hot dogs for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until heated and slightly browned.
Toast the hot dog buns lightly in the oven or on the stovetop, if desired.
To assemble, place a hot dog inside each bun. Top generously with the sauerkraut mixture and a swirl of yellow mustard.
