I love a great tasting hot dog, especially while tailgating at a game or camping in the mountains. Some of my vegetarian friends never get to experience these delightful dogs so we’re coming up with tasty alternatives. Below we’ll list a few of our favorite non-meat ingredients that would taste great inside a hot dog bun. Looking for affordable Raleigh caterers for your next event this fall or winter season? Call the professional team at Catering by Design today. You’ll love our amazing menu packages, exceptional customer service, and great tasting food.
Grilled Portobello
Grilled portabello is a great meaty substitute. Take it up a notch by using a dry rub before putting them on a grill. Start by removing the stems and slicing them longways. Then toss in a bowl with some olive oil, add your rub and grill them for 6 to 8 minutes. Be sure to turn them a few times in between for even cooking.
Grilled Marinated Carrots
Carrots in a hot dog bun might sound pretty silly, but it’s a great meat alternative. The key is the marinade. I like to use soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, and smoked paprika. This gives the carrots a deep and savory flavor. Once grilled they even kind of look like a hot dog.
Grilled Avocado
Yes, you heard me right. Grilled Avocado goes great on a hot dog bun. Cut them in half and remove the pits first. Then brush them some olive oil and grill for about 3 minutes open side down. Salt and pepper to taste when they’re done and load them up in a bun. Pairs great with any of your favorite toppings.
