My summery hotdogs with a coriander twist

by Sandra Slawinski | 4th July 20204th July 2020

Todays is the 4th of July ( damm how did we get to July this fast) If you are celebrating the USA 4th of July or simply crave a h’dog, these hotdogs are totally delish and a little differently topped. I added coriander hummus, tomato relish, fried onions and grated cheddar cheese.

But if you are wondering where the tomato relish is on the pictures, yeah well i forgot to add it , silly me!

TIP: Not a fan of coriander, replace it by flat parsley or replace the hummus by guacamole.

STEP 1: Spread some of the hummus with coriandre ( cilantro) onto the grilled bun.

STEP 2 : add the boiled and grilled hotdog.

STEP 3: add the tomato relish ( haha) , the crispy fried onions and coarsely grated some lovely cheddar cheese over it.

STEP 4: sprinkle a few leaves of coriander and serve.

But never be more than 15 minutes late if a specific time was given without a quick warning message to the host. What to bring? A host(ess) gift is not something to be consumed during the meal. Only bring a dish or dinks when requested and cleared by the host. Have flowers delivered before the meal or offer flowers in water and not requiring immediate attention from the host. A small gift instead of flowers can be offered in line with the hosts interests. In Belgium flowers and chocolates are perfect acceptable host gifts if you do not know them well enough for more personal gifts. Damm, I dropped my napkin. “Elbows off the table” mothers says.

My pea and mint hummus and seasonal vegetables

I love peas, and when they are just sooo fresh, it’s like candy! Hummus is an easy base of chickpeas and tahini, a sesame paste. You can add pretty much any herb or vegetable to it for pimping. And the gorgeous radishes in season dip beautifully to give it some lovely crunch.
