Method

  1. Toss together the cabbage, vinegar, caraway seeds and ¼ tsp salt in a bowl; set aside in the fridge for at least 20 mins.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, heavy frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the sliced onions for 10 mins, stirring every few mins until softened and well browned. Stir in the beer, reduce the heat to low and cook for a further 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid is absorbed and the onions are very tender. Season with pepper.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a separate frying pan over a medium heat and fry the bangers to pack instructions. Preheat the grill to medium.
  4. Split the hot dog buns in half and transfer to a baking tray. Divide the cheese-alternative between the buns, then grill for 4 mins until melted.
  5. Put the bangers in the buns and dollop over the mustard, beer-braised onions and pickled cabbage. Scatter with chives to serve, if you like.
    • Freezing and defrosting guidelines

      Freeze beer-braised onions only. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
