Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 8 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 medium, finely chopped jalapeno peppers
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, finely diced yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the chopped jalapeno peppers, minced garlic, and diced onion to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen its flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the honey, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well, and let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Meanwhile, heat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. Add the hot dogs and cook for about 5 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are evenly browned.
Toast the hot dog buns lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly crisp and warm.
Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and carefully blend it with an immersion blender until smooth. (Be cautious as the sauce will be hot!)
Place one cooked hot dog in each bun and spoon a generous amount of the hot jalapeno pepper sauce over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the spicy, savory goodness!
