Oh so healthy. This one does not get the American Heart Associate Rating. Not yet at least. This was also something I’ve been itching to try — so we did it. We don’t mess around. We used German Franks from Berkeley Bowl and fried in grape seed oil, which is supposed to be the healthiest kind of oil to fry in.
We prepared some red and white onions with some tomato paste and reduced it on a simmer in a large pot. This was definitely delicious. My buddy’s idea and a must for any kind of hot dogs from now on. We also made a tapenade from everything offered at the Berkeley Bowl olive and appetizer bar: artichoke hearts, olives, tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, peperoncini, and whatever else they had… probably some bell pepper too. We blended all that up with some olive oil and some bread crumbs.
