Finger Licking Good

For something to wow the guests with, or just something to enjoy as a late-night snack, why not try out Severed Finger Hotdogs? This gory goodness is one to really make you scream - nostalgic hot dog and onions with a twist.

But make sure you keep your fingers away from the knives as you prep and eat this delish dish.

Ingredients:

• 1 x Tin of hotdogs
• Large onion
• Ketchup
• Brown sauce
• Brioche hot dog rolls (cut open)

Method:

1. Take the hot dogs out of the tin and tip the brine into a pan. Then, using a sharp knife, cut out a small section from one end of each (see picture for reference) to make a bed for the nail. Then make a few shallow slices around the nail halfway down to add texture.
2. Cook the hot dogs in a pan with the brine until hot. At the same time slice the onion into small chunks.
3. In a bowl mix the ketchup and brown sauce and spread this along the inside of the hot dog rolls.
4. Once the hot dogs are at your desired temperature, drain them off and slice off the non-fingernail ends – to create the finish of a severed finger. Place the cut onion onto the ‘nail’ space and put a sausage in each roll – adding the ketchup to the nailbed so the onion sticks to the finger.
5. Use any remaining sauce to add more ‘blood’ and voila – your own severed fingers to munch away on.
