Ingredients

  • 6 giant hot dogs (loose or canned)
  • 6 Lebanese flatbreads or flour tortillas
  • squirty yellow mustard (optional)
  • watercress, to serve
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 3 red onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 3 tbsp light muscovado sugar
  • 4 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • large pinch crushed chilli flakes

Directions

  1. Begin by making the relish – it can be served warm or cold. Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan and cook the onions for 10 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Stir in the garlic and seeds and cook for 1 minute more. Add the sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vinegar and chilli and bubble for 5 minutes until the liquid evaporates.

  2. Heat the hot dogs according to packet instructions. Heat a large non-stick griddle or frying pan, and toast the flatbreads in batches, turning until golden and crisp. Put a hot dog, squirt of mustard (if using) and some relish on each, fold up and scatter with some watercress. Serve with paper napkins.
