material

  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon nigella seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • frying vegetable oil
  • 4 banana shallots (finely sliced)
  • 4 outdoor frankfurters
  • 4 hot dog rolls
  • 150g kale and carrot sauerkraut (or your favorite sauerkraut)
  • 8 cornichons (thickly cut)
  • american style mustard

Method

  1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add all the spices and toast for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to a bowl, return the frying pan to the heat and add about 2cm of oil. Check for readiness by dropping in a small piece of shallot. This is when you want it to sizzle. When ready, add the shallots and cook, stirring regularly with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper to drain. After a minute, add the shallots to the bowl with the spices, add a pinch of salt and mix. Meanwhile, heat the frankfurters according to package directions.
  2. Tear open the roll and divide the sauerkraut inside. Place the frankfurters on top and sprinkle with the cornichons. Squeeze in the required amount of mustard and top with crunchy spiced shallots.
