Guten Dog Replicate from Destination Dogs in New Brunswick, NJ

​

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 20 mins

Ingredients

1 pack (4 links) Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Bratwurst

4 Vegan Pretzel Buns (I used Pretzilla)

1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced) + 1/2 cup of a vegan-friendly Lager or Pilsner – I used paulaner munchen lager

1 cup sauerkraut (drained)

Vegan sour cream (Kite Hill) and a spicy brown mustard

Fresh dill (chopped)

2 tbsp vegan butter

Instructions

Beer-Braised Onions

1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil/butter in a skillet over medium heat.

2. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 8–10 minutes until they are soft and starting to turn golden brown.

3. Pour in the 1/2 cup of beer. Turn the heat up slightly and let it simmer until the liquid has evaporated and the onions are coated in a thick, savory "glaze." Set aside.

4. In the same skillet (no need to wash it; the onion/beer residue is great flavor), add another touch of oil.

5. Cook the Gardein links over medium-high heat. Rotate them frequently for 8–10 minutes

6. Slice your pretzel buns and lightly toast them.

   1. Build the dog in this specific order to keep the bun from getting soggy:

Spread the spicy brown mustard on the bottom bun. Then add the links and top with the beer caramelized onion. Add sauerkraut on top, sour cream, and finally dill. Enjoy!
