Turn Frankfurters Into Top Dogs For Your Strength & Fitness

1) TOP DOGS

You could fill Emirates Stadium with all the over-processed, flaccid and sodium-clogged hot dogs you’ll find at the supermarket. Raise your game by shopping for quality. The meat used in Sausage Man’s chilli beef dogs (sausageman.co.uk) is 100% beef, giving you an extra creatine hit, while the heat of the spice will rev up your metabolism. Alternatively, Helen Browning’s organic hot dogs (helenbrowningsorganic.co.uk) are made from free-range British pork, with casings that contain only prime cuts. Pig out with impunity

2) LOW’N’SLOW

Searing heat will burn and split the skin of your hot dogs before they can warm through. Avoid this error by preheating your grill to medium, then adding your franks. Turn them every minute until they’re plump and browned – this should take between five to seven minutes. Remove and allow to rest for two minutes. Use this time to grill your buns until they’re crisp.

3) PILE ON THE BENEFITS

Transfer the rested hot dogs to the toasted buns. Now, it’s time to spoon on the toppings. Be generous: if you want to max out the health benefits, load up your bun so you see little more than the ends of the sausage. Each recipe serves two.
