Ingredients
- 4 pieces vegan hot dog sausages
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 medium onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing your ingredients. Thinly slice the medium onion.
Step 2
In a medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, cooking until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in another pan, melt 2 tablespoons of vegan butter over medium heat. Toast the inside of each hot dog bun until golden brown. Set them aside.
Step 4
In the same pan or using a grill, cook the vegan hot dog sausages as per package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally until they are heated evenly and have a slight crisp on the outside.
Step 5
Once cooked, place each sausage into a toasted hot dog bun.
Step 6
Top each hot dog with a generous amount of sauerkraut (about 1/4 cup per hot dog), the caramelized onions, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and 1 tablespoon of ketchup, or to your taste.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy this plant-based classic hot dog with sauerkraut!
