Hot dog (pancho)

The pancho is really all about the toppings. These change depending on the region (and stall) you’re buying it from, but favourite additions include corn, cheese, mustard, onion and salsa golf, a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise. The "dog" is also often longer than the bun.

Instructions

Place frankfurters in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 3 minutes or until heated through. Drain and set aside.

Heat a chargrill pan over high heat. Brush corn with oil and cook, turning, for 10 minutes or until charred. Remove from heat and cool slightly, then slice kernels from cob using a small serrated knife. Toss with butter and season with salt and pepper.

To make salsa golf, combine mayonnaise and sauce in a bowl, season and set aside.

Cut pan de Viena down the centre (being careful not to cut all the way through) and spread with mustard. Place a frankfurter in the centre and top with onion, mozzarella, corn and salsa golf.

• Pan de Viena are available from bakeries. Substitute with any other long roll.
