“Men, as well as women, need to understand the simple, healthful preparation of food. Their business often calls them where they cannot obtain wholesome food; then, if they have a knowledge of cookery, they can use it to good purpose.
“Both young men and young women should be taught how to cook economically and to dispense with everything in the line of flesh food. “ –Child Guidance, p. 376
This homemade hotdog recipe is very simple, easy, delicious, and healthy.
Some of my followers requested that I make a hotdog recipe. I promised them I would work on it. I have seen a couple of hotdog recipes, but I wanted to come up with my own recipe, different from what everyone else does—and there you have it. I hope you will give it a try. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup soy mince, ground
1 medium potato, cooked and mashed
½ cup rice flour (you can use any flour that you have)
3 Tbsp. tomato paste
2 Tbsp. beetroot paste (I make my beetroot paste by blending fresh beetroot until I get a smooth paste. But if you don’t have a blender, you can grate your beetroot. You need it for this recipe for natural coloring)
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 Tbsp. grounded flaxseed + 3 Tbsp. water
1 tsp. thyme
Salt to taste
PREPARATION
First combine flaxseed and water. Mix and let it sit for 15 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients together, except flour. Mix well. Add flour and mix well again until you get a nice dough. Not too hard, not too soft either. If it seems there is not enough moisture, add a tablespoon or two of water. If it is too moist add more flour.
Cut the dough into 8 small balls. Cut 8 pieces of parchment paper (Most people use aluminum foil, but I want to encourage you not to use aluminum in your kitchen. Aluminum is not good for our health).
Roll your homemade hotdogs in parchment paper and twist the ends.
Place in a steaming basket over a large pot and steam for 45 minutes.
