Two grilled hot dogs in toasted buns heaped with diced pickle relish and bits of red pepper, one striped with a creamy sauce

Zesty Habanero Pickle Relish

From the kitchen of Patrick

Use on hot dogs or burgers. Add some relish to your potato or macaroni salad. Or just toss a few spoonfuls on top of any salad to add a zesty crunchy bite.

I peered into my refrigerator and looked into a half empty jar of NRB Zesty Habanero pickles and had an idea. I extracted 4 lonely spears and a few floating slices of habanero peppers. I diced all of these flavor bombs together and mixed in a bit of olive oil just to bind the mixture together. I grilled a few hot dogs and generously sprinkled on this freshly made relish.

The spicy, crunchy, brinery flavor was the perfect topping for a hot dog still steaming from the grill. I will never again consume a hot dog without this delicious concoction. See if you agree.

Enjoy, Patrick
