Perro Caliente Colombiano (Colombian Hot Dog)
A hot dog with bacon, grated cheese, pink sauce and crushed potato crisps on top. The crisps are not a garnish, they are the point. Two, in fifteen minutes.
Servings: 2
Calories: 739kcal
Ingredients
- 2 sausages
- 2 brioche hot dog buns
- 4 slices bacon, fried
- 1 package potato crisps crushed by hand over the top, not served alongside
- Grated cheese
- Pink sauce salsa rosada: mayonnaise and ketchup, roughly two to one
Instructions
- Simmer the sausages in a pot for about 5 minutes. Once soft, drain them and set them aside.
- Warm the buns on a griddle or in a dry pan for about 3 minutes.
- Put a sausage in each bun, lay the bacon alongside, then add the pink sauce and the grated cheese.
- Crush a handful of crisps over the top with your hand and eat it straight away, while they are still crisp.
Notes
The crisps go on last and the hot dog gets eaten immediately, because they lose their crunch within a couple of minutes against hot sausage and sauce. Salsa rosada is mayonnaise and ketchup mixed roughly two to one, and it is on almost everything in Colombia, from chips to hamburgers. Colombian street versions pile on more than this: pineapple sauce, mustard, quail eggs and cheese sauce all appear, and nobody considers it excessive. The bacon is best fried crisp rather than soft, since it has to hold up against everything on top of it.
