Ingredients
The Leonese Hot Dog differs from the original American hot dog in several ways. Firstly, the sausage used in the Leonese version is a Spanish-style sausage, such as chorizo or longaniza, which adds a distinct smoky and spicy flavor. Additionally, the traditional hot dog bun is replaced with a crusty baguette, giving the dish a unique texture. Finally, the toppings are inspired by Leonese cuisine, with a zesty tomato and onion salsa adding a burst of freshness and tanginess.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Baguette — Choose a crusty baguette with a soft interior to hold the sausage and toppings without becoming too soggy.
- Spanish-style sausage — Opt for high-quality chorizo or longaniza for an authentic Leonese flavor. If unavailable, you can use any smoky and spicy sausage as a substitute.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, grill the baguettes for a few minutes until they are lightly toasted.
- Customize your Leonese Hot Dog by adding additional toppings such as grated cheese, sliced jalapeños, or a dollop of spicy mustard.
- If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the tomato before dicing it.
Serving advice
Serve the Leonese Hot Dogs with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad to complete the meal.
