Grain Free Hotdogs with Homemade Danish Remoulade & Pickled Cabbage

Life is too short to miss out on hot dogs, right?

That’s why this week’s recipe is all about making a delicious and healthy alternative to the classic hot dog.

When it comes to hot dogs, the sausage is the star of the show.

I always go for the one with the highest meat content and organic ones with added ingredients like wild garlic, leeks, sun-dried tomatoes, or herbs.

But let’s not forget the co-star, the bread. I like to use flatbread, like the recipe I shared a few weeks ago, but you can also wrap it in lettuce or cabbage leaves for a lighter alternative.

Dressing up a hot dog is half the fun.

Ketchup is a must. I love using pickled things like my homemade pickled cabbage.

I also like to use remoulade, a classic Danish dipping sauce that is full of flavor and adds a pickled tang to the hot dog. I like making them myself, which is healthier than buying them.

So fire up the grill. Grab a cold drink and enjoy a delicious and healthy hot dog.

For summer, football games, or just because, it’s the perfect meal.

Enjoy!

  • Use a sharp knife to finely slice the cabbage. Add as much cabbage as possible in the jar, it is okay to squeeze a bit. Pour the hot liquid over the cabbage and add the lit tightly. Gently shake the jar to soak all cabbage in vinegar. This can be done every 15 min until the cabbage start collapsing a bit.
  • Make the remoulade. Start by mixing creme fraiche, mayonnaise, mustard, curry, turmeric, sugar and vinegar. Add the remaining ingredients and mix all of it together. Use vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to season to taste.
  • Prepare the rest of the ingredients. Fry or grill the sausages and heat the flatbreads. Then serve the hotdogs as a pick and mix your own food. Add all things to the table and eat while you make your own delicious versions of grain free super hotdogs. Start with the bread, a lettuce leave then the sausage and top with the ingredients you prefer.
