Caribbean Hot Dogs

March 30, 2015 By Tekesha Leave a Comment

Caribbean Hot Dogs

As a kid, my dad always made hot dogs for me cooked down with tomatoes and onions and garlic. When I first lived in New York City, I remember reaching straight for the red onion hot dog sauce on the hot dog carts because it tasted the most like home. Caribbean people have a gift for jazzing up “poor people’s food”, so it’s not surprising that almost every Caribbean country has a version of this dish. In Spanish-speaking countries, it’s usually called salchichas guisadas (pronounced sal-CHI-CHAHS gwee-SAH-dahs). They taste like next-level hot dogs. Just, the best.

Everything in the skillet should look slightly orange from being coated by bits of tomato pulp.

Add ketchup and wine to the skillet.

Sauté for approximately 10 minutes, until peppers and onion are tender.

Almost all of the wine should be cooked out and you should be left with hot dogs and veggies in a thick compote.

If you are a hot dog fanatic, like me, you can eat this straight out of the pan.

If not, you can serve it up on a bun, with potatoes (pictured below), or with tostones.
