We're not talking chili dogs here. A Coney Island Hot Dog has a unique flavor. My friend got this recipe from a Coney Island Restaurant owner, and it tastes exactly like what the restaurant has been serving for over half a century. Ingredients:
2 lbs. lean ground beef |
4 medium onions, chopped |
1/2 tblspn garlic powder |
1-1/2 tblspn white vinegar |
4 tblspn chili powder |
1/4 teaspn cinnamon |
1/2 teaspn red pepper |
1/4 teaspn cumin |
1 teaspn salt |
1 teaspn alspice |
2 dashes worcestershire sauce |
6 oz tomato paste |
1 quart water |
Directions:
1. This recipe is for the sauce that is one of several condiments that make a right and proper Coney Island hot dog. (see below)
2. Brown the ground beef and drain. Run it through a food processor for a finer texture, if you choose. It seems to go farther that way. Save time by mincing the onions in a processor also, as it cooks down to nothing in the sauce. In a small dutch oven combine all ingredients and simmer. The original recipe says simmer for 3 to 4 hours. I've found that about 2 hours is plenty of time. That's all there is to it. Makes about 10 cups of sauce. A cup of sauce makes about eight hot dogs.
3. CONEY ISLAND HOT DOG correct creation procedure:
4. Place a hot hotdog in a warm fresh bun. Spread about a heaping tablespoon of coney sauce beside the full length of the dog, then do the same with an equal amount of chopped onion. Squirt a line of yellow mustard along the full length. Top with two shakes of salt.
