Pork Green Chili Topped Hot Dogs

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Hot Dogs

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 large white onion, small dice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • One 28-ounce can fire roasted Hatch green chiles
  • One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 8 split-top hot dog buns
  • 16 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Directions

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and coat the bottom 2 tablespoons oil. Once heated, add the pork and sprinkle with a couple healthy pinches salt. Lightly sear on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes, then remove from the pan.

  2. Add the onion and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Let the onions sweat, scraping the bottom of the pan, and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

  3. Add the garlic, oregano, cumin and flour. Let the spices and flour toast, about 1 minute, then slowly stir in the chicken stock, blending into the mixture so the flour doesn’t clump.

  4. Add the green chiles, tomatoes and reserved pork. Bring to a simmer, then cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and soft, about 1 hour. Taste and adjust the seasoning. (See Cook’s Note.)

  5. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium to medium-high heat.

  6. Grill the hot dogs and toast the buns on the grill. Serve 3 ounces chili on top of each hot dog. Garnish with a pinch Monterey Jack cheese and chopped cilantro.
