Treat your ingredients with care...

• Sausages — Choose smoked or spicy sausages for a more robust flavor.
• Tomato and onion sauce — Allow the sauce to simmer for a longer time if you prefer a thicker consistency.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, add a few drops of hot sauce to the tomato and onion sauce.
• Experiment with different types of sausages, such as chorizo or bratwurst, to customize the flavor of your Samba Dog.
• If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of garlic in the tomato and onion sauce.

Serving advice

Serve the Samba Dogs with a side of crispy French fries or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
