Hungarian Hot Dogs Recipes

Steps:

• cut hot dogs in 1/2 lengthwise then into 1/4" pieces.
• In 4qt pan brown hot dogs and onions in oil.
• add tomatoes, soup or tomato paste ,water, and pasta sauce. add pepper and garlic powder.
• Let simmer while macaroni is cooking.
• Cook macar4oni in separate pan, drain and add to sauce.
• Works well with ground beef ,fresh browned of course, leftover hamburger patties chopped fine, leftover meat loaf or meatballs broken up fine and even leftover cooked chicken or turkey.

Steps:

• Sauté ground beef, stirring frequently to break the meat into small pieces, until brown. Remove from heat and drain grease.
• Sauté chopped onion, garlic and Hungarian pepper until tender. Add ground beef, marjoram and thyme. Stir to mix ingredients evenly throughout.
• Slowly add the tomato puree. Add paprika and again stir the mixture. Add vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Add water to thin to preferred texture; not more than 8 oz. should be sufficient.
• Simmer sauce on low heat in a covered pot for about two hours. Allow sauce to cool and salt to taste. Hungarian peppers are the mildest of the hot peppers, and if you desire more heat, add Tabasco or your favorite hot sauce to taste, then reheat for about ½ hour.
• Serve over hot dogs on buns. Offer chopped Vidalia onion, and for an additional Hungarian touch, add a dab of sour cream on top of the hot dog.

Steps:

• METHOD: In a heavy, straight-sided sauté pan or a casserole (like a Dutch Oven), melt three generous tablespoons of delicious lard.
• Prepare all peppers, core, devein and cut into 4-6 long narrow wedges.
• Cut onions into ½ moon slices. Place onions and peppers into the lard on high heat. Stir-fry until it becomes like a stew, cooked, but still firm; only about 6-8 minutes - no longer, you want the integrity of the peppers to remain in tact and the bright colours to stay. Then, add all seasonings, stewed tomatoes and paste.
• Adding the Hungarian Sausage: Take 1 pair of Hungarian Kolbász (Sausage) and slice it on the "diagonal" - the visual effect is important. You can add the slices right into the pepper stew and let it stew together if it's not too dry. Other sausage variations like Debrecen are ideal, but the drier ones, like the Gyulai sausage are exceptionally delicious. Note: if the sausage is too dry - stew beforehand in ½ cup water in a shallow saucepan for 10-15 minutes before adding it to the peppers. (Add both stewing liquid and sausage to the peppers).
• Let simmer until all flavours are melded; about 4-6 minutes. Warning - when you are stirring, use a wooden slotted spoon so as not to break up the peppers - you are not going for baby food!
• Serving Suggestions: Serve with fluffy white jasmine rice and/or fresh Hungarian white bread. You can jazz it up or play it down. However you use, it you will find it to be very complimentary with a variety of your favourite dishes.
