Colombian Hot Dogs (Perro Caliente Colombiano)

perro-caliente-049This is one of those recipes that I really enjoyed preparing. There are a lot of things that I miss about my country, but the three that I miss the most are my family, my friends and the food.

Medellin, like other cities in the world, has hot dogs stands on the streets and this recipe is very popular with them. In Colombia we don’t grill the hotdogs or salchichas, we boil them and the toppings include cole slaw, pineapple sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and potato chips. When my friends and I would go out to dance, we would usually end up at one of the best hot dog stands located on Poblado Avenue in Medellin at 2 o’ clock in the morning. I really miss those times.

If you are a vegetarian, like my husband, you can buy veggie dogs and use the same toppings. I made them for him and he absolutely loved them.
I hope all of you have a great 4th of July weekend.
