Ingredients

• 4 pieces beef hot dogs
• 4 pieces hot dog buns
• 1 cup balsamic caramelized onions
• 0.5 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 0.25 cup blackberry compote
• 1 cup arugula
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the blackberry compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blackberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon water. Cook until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

Caramelize the onions: In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add 1 cup of thinly sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, cook for another 2 minutes, and remove from heat.

Step 3

Grill or pan-fry the hot dogs: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the beef hot dogs until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 4

Toast the buns: Spread a thin layer of butter on the inner sides of the hot dog buns. Place them on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.

Step 5

Assemble the Poe Dog: Place a cooked hot dog into each bun. Top with a generous spoonful of caramelized onions, a drizzle of blackberry compote, and a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese. Add a handful of arugula for a fresh and peppery bite.

Step 6

Season and serve: Sprinkle a pinch of salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder over the assembled Poe Dog. Serve immediately and enjoy the dramatic symphony of flavors!
