Danish Style Hot Dogs (Ristet Hotdog)

If you're not familiar with European hotdogs, they come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and hundreds of different toppings that we in America would never think to put on a hotdog. Every country puts their own spin on the dogs and they can get pretty creative. One of my favorites is the Danish Ristet dog.

The hotdog consists of a beef and pork wiener cooked on a flat top grill. On top of that you can get either ketchup, mustard, remoulade, or a combo of them. I opt for the tradition remoulade with just and extra line of mustard on top. A simple version of the remoulade has relish or chopped pickle, mayonaise, yellow mustard, and some lemon juice. You can certainly add some fresh herbs to it though to add some extra flavor. On top of the sauces are just some chopped raw onion, some extra slices of pickle, and some crispy fried onion, the same you would put on top of a green bean casserole. The combination of all these flavors and textures really brings the whole hotdog together.

Remoulade sauce:
3 Tbsp Mayo
About a Tbsp of yellow mustard (more or less to taste)
About a Tbsp of relish or chopped pickle
Juice of a quarter of a lemon
Mix all together and let sit in the refrigerator for a couple hours to let the flavors combine
