Ingredients

  • 3 Persian cucumbers
  • ½ medium yellow onion
  • Salt
  • ¾ cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 15 whole black peppercorns
  • ¼ tsp crushed chili flakes
  • 1 bunch scallions trimmed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 15-oz can pinto beans
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic finely grated
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved (quartered if large)
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • Canola oil
  • 1 package ButcherBox Uncured Beef Hot Dogs or Uncured Beef & Pork Hot Dog​s defrosted and pat dry
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • Cooked bacon, chopped lettuce, and any condiments you like for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Slice the cucumbers into ¼-inch-thick planks and set in a dish large enough that they can lie mostly flat. Cut the onion into ¼-inch slices, add to the cucumbers and toss with ¼ teaspoon salt. In a small pot, combine the white wine vinegar, ¾ cup water, sugar, turmeric, black peppercorns, chili flakes and ¼ teaspoon salt and place over medium heat. Cook until warm, whisking to combine and dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour over the cucumbers and onions and place in the fridge to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the scallions with the olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. In a small pot, heat the beans and their liquid over medium until thoroughly warm and starting to simmer, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to a serving bowl and stir in the oregano, lemon juice, garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil. In another small bowl, toss the tomatoes with the red wine vinegar; season with salt.
  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-high heat, making sure to clean the grates and lightly slick them with a kitchen rag or brush dipped in canola oil. Once hot, place the hot dog buns directly on the grates and lightly toast, turning one or twice, then transfer to a serving platter. Place the hot dogs on the grates and grill, turning once or twice, until thoroughly hot and with some light charring, about 7 minutes.
  • Serve the hot dogs with the buns, pickled cucumbers and onions, beans, tomatoes and all the sides.
