Steps:

• Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add onions and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown in places, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking, 1 minute more. Stir in tomato paste, red wine vinegar, hot sauce, sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until onion relish is thick and glossy.

NEW YORK HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Add the oil and onions to a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the honey, chili powder, and cinnamon. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 more minute.
• Add the water, ketchup, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook until the sauce is bubbly and thick, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Let the onions cool in a covered container while you make the hot dogs.
• Bring 8 cups of water to a boil on high heat in a large pot. Add the hot dogs and continue to boil until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

NEW YORK-STYLE HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, stir in the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring every minute or so, until the onions have softened and begin to caramelize, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato paste, stirring until the onions are completely coated. Cook until the tomato paste deepens in color, about 1 minute. Stir in the vinegar, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Stir in 1 cup of water, the sugar and garlic powder. Raise the heat to medium and bring to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens enough so a spoon leaves behind a trail, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
• While the onions simmer, place the hot dogs on a baking sheet and bake until heated through and they begin to brown on the bottoms, about 10 minutes, flipping once about halfway through the cooking time. If you like, open the hot dog buns and toast the buns alongside the dogs for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
• Place the hot dogs in the buns and top with the onions. Serve immediately.
