LUCY BURDETTE: Did you mutter when you read the title of this blog? Good lord, mango hot dog? Has Lucy lost her marbles? Has too much time on Duval Street fried her brains?

Mango Hot Dog from Garbo's Grill |
So I wandered off into my own version of grilled hot dogs with a spicy mango relish. My guests, to be honest, looked at this with askance when it first came to the table. But every single eater was a convert by the end of dinner.
Ingredients

Good buns to match
1 ripe mango, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 small red onion, minced
1/2 tsp sugar
couple of squeezes of lemon

Serve the salsa on grilled hot dogs, on toasted buns, with good mustard.
Hayley Snow will be reviewing this hot dog, eaten at Garbo's Grill, in KILLER TAKEOUT. She loved it just as much as I did!

I can honestly say I have never heard of (or eaten) a mango hot dog. That is a first for me. It does look colorful.
ReplyDeleteI never had either Jen, but they are yummy:)
DeleteUntil we lived in Florida I'd never heard of a chili slaw dog either, and now it's my favorite! I'd be willing to try the mango hot dog...it looks fun and summery! :-)
ReplyDeleteNicole, I try not to eat too many hot dogs, but I'll be looking for your chili slaw dog now!
DeleteI love chili dogs. Just mustard, chili, and onions on my hot dog. The mango dog sounds like it has all the sweet, salty, and savory thing that's popular now.
ReplyDeleteOh you wild and crazy lady! The Conch Republic knows how to eat.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun idea. Bet the salsa would be good on many other meats, too.
Yes it would be Libby!!
DeleteWhat a fun change-up! Love it.

I never thought about mangoes with hot dogs. But mangoes are so wonderful that I can't imagine anything that wouldn't be improved by the addition of mangoes. Now to figure out the mysterious sauce. You might have to eat a few more!
