Hot Dogs with Fake Sauerkraut Relish

Directions

1. For the fake sauerkraut relish:
2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine the oil and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 15 minutes. Add the sugar, mustards, a pinch of salt, and mix to combine.
3. Add the vinegar. When the mixture is about to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for about 35 minutes, until the vinegar has reduced completely and the acidic fumes have evaporated. (Do not attempt to expedite cooking by increasing the heat -- you want the mixture gently steaming, otherwise the flavors will be off. If needed, add a tiny bit of water from time to time to prevent onions from drying.)
4. Remove the relish from the heat, if needed adjust the salt, season with white pepper, and let it cool at room temperature before serving.

1. For the hot dogs:
2. Cook or grill your hot dog. This one is up to you.
3. Open the buns on a work surface. Spoon the relish on the bottom half of the bun, top with the hot dog, top with ketchup if desired. Close the bun carefully. Have fun.
