Chicago dog relish mixes pickles, mustard, onions, peppers, relish, celery salt, and poppy seeds for a classic Chicago taste in one spoonful. 1 medium tomato. 1 small white or sweet onion. 4-6 sport peppers or 2-3 whole peperoncini, stemmed.
Puckered pickle company is one of the many brands that makes Chicago style neon green relish. They call theirs “super green.” Making Chicago Style hot dogs back home is relatively straightforward, though there is a recommended order to layering the seven ingredients. Open your Bun (add poppy seeds).
For the uninitiated, a Chicago dog is a hot dog (typically an all-beef Vienna frank) topped with a pile of pungent garnishes: mustard, onions, tomatoes, dill pickles, sport peppers, and glowing green relish. It’s traditionally sprinkled with celery salt as the final add-on and served on a poppy seed bun. No, ketchup is not part of the equation.
I believe cloves are an important ingredient in the spices. I have searched extensively for an "atomic" Chicago hot dog style relish recipe that has been tried and verified as being close in flavor and texture to the real thing. Even Google has failed me. I want a recipe that has been vetted and approved.
