Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Low sodium hot dogs
- 4 pieces Whole wheat hot dog buns
- 1 cup Low sodium sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
Slice the red onion thinly.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and sauté for 5 minutes, or until they are soft and starting to caramelize.
Add the low sodium sauerkraut, black pepper, caraway seeds, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the sauerkraut mixture is cooking, place the low sodium hot dogs on the grill or grill pan. Grill them for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
Lightly toast the whole wheat hot dog buns on the grill during the last 2 minutes of grilling the hot dogs.
Assemble the hot dogs by placing each grilled hot dog into a toasted bun.
Top each hot dog with a generous scoop of the warm sauerkraut mixture and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard per hot dog.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium hot dog with sauerkraut!
