The Italian Garden Hot Dog

The classic combination of tomato and basil rocks this topping.

To make your Italian Garden Hot Dog

• 8 ripe cherry tomatoes, sliced
• Handful of fresh basil leaves
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Parmesan cheese, shaved

Make the mayonnaise and place in a squeezy bottle to serve. Add the tomato and a dash of olive oil to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. To assemble the Italian garden hot dog, place basil leaves on a toasted bun, add the grilled sausage, add a squiggle of aioli, top with tomato and then the shaved parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Serves 4

Aioli mayonnaise with Dijon mustard

• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ½ cup light olive oil
• ½ cup sunflower oil
• 2 tablespoons hot water, if necessary

Blend the eggs, garlic, lemon juice and mustard in a food processor. Add the combined oils in a thin stream. If you’d like your aioli runnier, add a couple of tablespoons of hot water, then place the mayonnaise in a squeezy bottle for easy serving.
