Who can resist a hot dog at a baseball game?Eating a hot dog can make you feel guilty because it isn't very healthy.You can make healthier choices by knowing the ingredients in your hot dogs.You won't have to feel bad about enjoying a hot dog if you pair healthy dogs with the right condiments or make your own.
Step 1: You have to grind the oats.
Place a cup of old-fashioned rolled oats in a food processor and pulse them.Set them aside for a moment.Don't use a blender?You can grind the oats with a coffee grinder.
Step 2: Place the ground meats in a container.
After you have emptied the food processor, toss in a pound of pork and turkey.The meat has an extremely fine texture.If your food processor is small, grind the meats separately.They should be thrown into the processor to mix them.
Step 3: Add the oats and other ingredients.
When you are done grinding the meats, add the oats and 2 large, lightly beaten egg whites.If you have a thick paste, run the mixture in the processor.The food processor can get hot if you run it too long.Cool the processor for a few seconds and then pulse it again.
Step 4: chill the mixture for a couple of hours.
When you're done processing the meat, spoon it into a large bowl.Make sure the seasonings are fully blended with the meat by mixing it with a wooden spoon.Put some plastic wrap over the bowl and chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Step 5: Roll the mixture into logs.
After the meat mixture has cooled, take 2 ounces (55 g) at a time and work it into a ball with your hands.To make a standard hot dog shape, roll the ball into a log that is about 13 cm long.If you want a traditional hot dog, you can use a sausage maker.Be aware that you will have better hot dogs.
Step 6: The dogs should be put in a skillet with water.
You can toss hot dogs into a skillet once you have shaped them.To cover them halfway, pour just enough water into the pan.
Step 7: The pan should be brought to a boil.
The hot dogs and water should be on the stove.It will take about 7 to 10 minutes for the pan to come to a boil.While you're waiting for the pan to boil, you don't need to cover it.
Step 8: The hot dogs will be cooked through if the heat is reduced.
Turn the heat down to medium when the skillet comes to a boil.It's best to cook hot dogs for about 15 minutes.To cook the hot dogs evenly, use a pair of tongs.The bigger the hot dogs, the more time you'll have to cook them.
Step 9: The hot dogs should be drained on a paper towel.
Remove the hot dogs from the skillet with tongs.They should be put on a paper towel-lined plate.The rest of the hot dogs should be cooked the same way.
Step 10: The hot dogs should be brown.
The hot dogs should be thrown on a grill for 7 to 9 minutes to brown them.You can brown them in a skillet on the stove for 5 minutes.If you don't want to eat the hot dogs right away, wrap them in plastic.You can keep them in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or freeze them for up to 6 months.
