Franks With Grilled Sweet Mini Peppers Food

GRILLED BEEF FRANKS WITH SWEET PEPPERS & ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Place peppers and onions in center of large sheet of heavy-duty foil; drizzle with dressing. Fold to make packet.
• Grill 15 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender, adding franks to the grill after 6 min. and cooking until franks are heated through, turning packet and franks occasionally.
• Cut slits in foil to release steam before carefully opening packet. Place franks in buns; top with vegetable mixture.

GRILLED MINI PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat up a grill pan and slap the peppers on. Cook, turning them occasionally, until blistered on all sides and softened, about 8 minutes total. Remove and set aside. Serve as part of a taco bar.

FRENCH FRY FRANKS

Steps:

• Make the franks: Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar and paprika in a large bowl. Add the egg and milk and whisk to make a thick batter, adding more milk if the mixture is too dry. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Dip the franks in the batter, then carefully wrap a long curly fry around each. (If desired, thread the franks on wooden skewers before wrapping with fries.)
• Working in batches, fry the franks in the hot oil, turning, until golden on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; sprinkle with salt.
• Meanwhile, make the dip: Whisk the Sriracha, lime juice and mayonnaise in a bowl. Serve with the franks.
