Awright, at Troutman 's urging, and to give Jhirshon some feedback, here is my review and twist on the Hirshon Colombian Dog recipe: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...nte-colombiano.
I think we all agree that one must try a first-time recipe as written, and I mostly stayed true to the original while simultaneously building my own riff on same. Everything about the Colombian Dogs recipe was fantastic and I would serve to family and friends as is. However, my taste buds were jonesing for something more. There was a craving deep inside that I just couldn't overcome, and so I succumbed to the temptation of improvisation.
As I was going through the preparations of the recipe, my mind kept racing through what iterations I could add that would enhance and elevate my experience. I was all over the place, bouncing from one idea to the next, but it was only 2:00 AM and I figured I had plenty of time to experiment before dinnertime, the next day. I had this strange sensation of being watched, but dismissed it, owing to my anxiety of trying to perfect the cook.
Anyway, the only changes I made to the posted recipe was to add some smoked jalapeno powder to the salsa rosada and to use Duke's Mayo for same. Again, it was a fun and delicious recipe and we totally enjoyed it.
For my riffs, I started with the pineapple sauce. I added a jalapeno and a couple of nasty looking little peppers that my wife planted labeled "Ashland Hot Pepper Hybrids" to the grind. They gave it a nice kick and a peppery finish. Thumbs up from both of us.
I already mentioned the salsa rosada, but the other 2 were equally delicious.
The hot dogs were the SRF that I found in the bargain bin and need no further introduction. I was disappointed that they split during the boil, but it really didn't affect the outcome.
And the final result of the Colombian Hot Dog
Again, a delicious meal. But something was still missing. A yearning unmet, a craving unmitigated, an insatiable urge unsatisfied. What, my racing mind wondered, could fulfill and tame this wild hunger!! And then it dawned on me. The original recipe called for the dogs to be cooked in a Coca-Cola and water solution. We honestly could not find where that made any difference to the final taste. So, I came up with my own 7% solution to the problem by adding some pickled jalapeno and thought of using a little white powdery substance (sugar), but didn't. I call these "Escobar Dogs". Very euphoric with a nice explosion of flavor....
