How To Make Grilled Link Hot Dogs with Homemade Pickle Relish?

Grill the Hot Dogs: Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the hot dogs, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
Prepare the Pickle Relish: In a medium non-reactive saucepan, bring the cider vinegar 355 ml, mustard seeds (5 g), and coriander seeds (5 g) to a boil on the grill. Cook until reduced by half and slightly syrupy.
Combine the Relish Ingredients: Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the diced dill pickles (8 large pickles), grilled peppers (1 small red and 1 small yellow), onion (1 small white onion), and fresh dill (30 g). Gently toss to combine.
Season the Relish: Season the pickle relish with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Assemble the Hot Dogs: Place the grilled hot dogs in buns and top with your choice of mustard and the Homemade Pickle Relish.

Recipe Tips:

Grill Hot Dogs Carefully: Make sure to grill the hot dogs on all sides until golden brown for that perfect crispy texture and smoky flavor.
Prepare the Relish in Advance: Allow the pickle relish to chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving. This lets the flavors meld together and taste even better.
Customize the Mustard: Use different types of mustard to suit your taste, such as brown mustard, horseradish, or Dijon for a unique twist.
Use Fresh Dill: Fresh dill gives the pickle relish a vibrant and fresh flavor. Avoid dried dill for the best taste.
Toast the Buns: Toasting the buns slightly on the grill or in a pan can add extra crunch and make the meal even more delicious.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

Refrigerate: Let the leftovers cool to room temperature. Then, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
Reheat: Heat the hot dogs in a pan over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally. Heat the relish in a pot for a few minutes if needed.
