Obama Dog

Ingredients:

4 jumbo-size beef hot dogs
2 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
1 large Vidalia onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
4 slices pineapple
2 Tbsp Dijon or yellow mustard
3 Tbsp Mexican-style hot sauce (such as Valentina Salsa Picante)
Pinch celery salt
4 steak rolls
4 dill pickle sandwich slices
Roasted red pepper strips (optional)
1 Tbsp chopped peanuts (or more to taste)

Preparation:

Steam the hot dogs according to package directions. While hot dogs are cooking, heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onions. While the onions are cooking, preheat a grill pan or George Foreman-type electric grill. Dry the pineapple slices and brush with mustard; grill for 3 minutes. Cut each slice in half.

When the onions are golden, stir in the hot sauce and the celery salt. Cook for another minute and remove from heat. To assemble the dogs, split a steak roll, lay a slice of pickle along one side and two pineapple halves along the other. Lay the hot dog in the middle, top with onions, red pepper strips, and chopped peanuts.
