Ingredients
For the Charred Pineapple Salsa
Instructions
-
Step 1 - Salsa Creation
Light the barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen, set a gas barbecue to medium or heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat. For the salsa, cook the pineapple, onion halves, and chili for 5-10 minutes, turning until charred. Let them cool, then chop the pineapple and veggies to your desired size. Transfer to a bowl, season with salt, stir in lime juice, and add coriander. Set aside.

Step 2 - Frankfurter Fiesta
Grill or griddle the vegan frankfurters for 10-15 minutes, turning until they develop char marks on all sides, blister, and sizzle. If space allows, toast the cut side of the buns at the same time. Otherwise, toast them after the frankfurters are cooked, keeping a close eye as they toast quickly.

Step 3 - Assembly Extravaganza
Serve the pineapple salsa in a bowl alongside the vegan frankfurters, buns, and sriracha, letting everyone build their own tropical dogs. Alternatively, stuff the buns with the frankfurters, spoon over the salsa, and drizzle with sriracha for a mouthwatering, island-inspired creation.

Note

Grilling Options: You can use a traditional barbecue, gas barbecue, or a griddle pan to cook the pineapple, onion, and chilli for the salsa. Choose the method that's most convenient for you.

Customization: Feel free to adjust the heat level of the salsa by adding more or less green chilli according to your taste preferences. You can also experiment with different types of vegan frankfurters or add additional toppings to suit your taste.
-
Preparation Time: While the grilling and assembly process doesn't take long, make sure to account for the time it takes for the barbecue or griddle pan to heat up and for the ingredients to cool before chopping for the salsa.
-
Serving Suggestions: Alongside the suggested sriracha, consider offering additional condiments such as mustard, ketchup, or vegan mayonnaise for added flavour options.
-
Ingredient Substitutions: If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple chunks instead. Just make sure to drain them well before grilling. Similarly, if green chillies are not available, you can use jalapenos or other mild chilli peppers.
