Sabrett Onions in Sauce

A Sabrett push cart hotdog isn't complete until it's slathered with the tangy orange\red onion sauce. For a buck or two you can grab a hotdog with the works, on the fly, from these popular umbrella-covered food carts in many major cities and at special events. You see hundreds of 'em in New York City, especially around Central Park. In fact that's where this recreation comes from. While most of the Sabrett toppings are standard hot dog fare - ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut - the Onion sauce is the real secret!

Ingredients:

1-1/2 teaspoons light olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced thin and chopped
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon corn syrup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup white vinegar

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium/low heat.

2. Saute sliced onion in the oil for 5 minutes, until onions are soft but not brown.

3. Dissolve cornstarch in water, then add it to the onions, followed by the corn syrup, tomato paste, salt and red pepper flakes. Stir.

4. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add vinegar. Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has reduced as sauce is thick.

Makes about 1-1/2 cups.

Variation: 1 tablespoon of Maple Syrup for Corn Syrup. ( A real Canuck version )

Enjoy! - let us know what you think.
