Ingredients

250 g hotdogs, sliced into rounds
440 g canned pork and beans, including sauce (2 cans, 220 g each)
15 ml cooking oil (1 Tbsp)
15 g butter or margarine (about 1 Tbsp)
10 g garlic, minced
70 g onion, diced
50 g red or green bell pepper, diced, optional
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
5 g spring onions, chopped, for garnish, optional

How to Make It

Remove any plastic casing from the hotdogs. Make shallow lengthwise cuts along four sides, then slice into rounds.
Mince the garlic and dice the onion and bell pepper, if using.
Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the butter or margarine.
Add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Add the onion and bell pepper, then sauté until softened.
Add the sliced hotdogs and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and heated through.
Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Pour in the pork and beans, including all the sauce, and stir gently to combine.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your preferred thickness.
Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with spring onions, if using, and serve hot.

Kubo Tips

Lightly scoring the hotdogs before slicing helps reduce curling as they cook.
Keep the heat moderate so the garlic and butter do not burn.
Stir gently after adding the beans to keep them from breaking apart.
Taste before adding more salt because the hotdogs and canned beans are already seasoned.
If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a small splash of water.
Bell peppers are optional, so you can leave them out without changing the method.
