one of my co-workers is married to a chilean guy and she started to regale us all the other day with stories of the wonder which are chilean hot dogs. of course i had to try them out for myself, because i love toppings. i cannot remember a time in my life when asked the question, 'what do you want on that?' where i replied anything other than, 'everything.' called 'completos' (with everything) or 'italianos' (because of the colours: white,red, green) there are a few variations of exactly what goes on top if you google around. according to my inside source, though, the essentials are as follows: chopped tomato, chopped onion, mashed avocado, mayonnaise, and crushed up potato chips.
i like vegannaise for this and other things, i think it tastes just like mayonnaise and has a better texture. because i am incapable of imagining a hot dog without mustard, into about 2 tbs. of vegannaise i mixed a heaping tsp of mustard and a few shakes of tobasco. the avocado i mashed with a little sherry vinegar for flavour and to keep it from browning, and the onion i soaked in acidified water for five minutes to take a bit of the raw bite off of it.
very simple and delicious, just take your favourite fake sausage thing, toast some buns, slather them with the dressing and build away. finish with the crushed chips on top and enjoy!
