We came across some hotdog buns, here at the house, so that sort of inspired me to try a little variation on these veggie fritters i've been making. Pictured above, i made some broccoli/yellow bell pepper dogs.

To do so, beat one egg, and a few tablespoons of flour. Steam broccoli for about five minutes, then cut into small chunks. Saute some yellow bell peppers in butter or olive oil, and again, chop into fairly small chunks. Then mix it all together.

I fried these in butter, in long hotdog shaped strips. To round them out, flip it before it's quite browned (you can come back and brown that side later). The side facing up will be flat, as it spread out against the pan. So using a spatula bend the sides down into a rounder shape.

Since we're in chicago, i had to do this dog up all fancy with tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, pickled jalepenos, mayo and mustard.

And since it's strawberry season, instead of chips or fries, i threw a pile of strawberries up in there.
