STICKY HOT DOG JACKETS

Steps:

• Rub the potatoes with a little oil, then sprinkle generously with salt (preferably flakes) and black pepper. Wrap each one in double-thickness foil and cook on the barbecue for 1 hour, turning frequently, until cooked. Or bake unwrapped in the oven at fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6 for the same amount of time.
• Mix the maple syrup, vinegar, mustard and tomato purée to make a glaze. Brush over the sausages and cook on the barbecue, turning and basting often, for 10 minutes until cooked and sticky. Meanwhile, mix the mayo ingredients in a small bowl.
• Unwrap the potatoes and split down the middle. Add mayo and sausages (like a hot dog). Serve with a leafy salad.

HOTDOGS WITH STICKY ROASTED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Wrap a whole bacon rasher around each Cumberland sausage and a half rasher around each chipolata. Spread out in 1-2 large, shallow baking trays.
• In a large roasting tin, toss the sliced onions with the oil, then roast on the top shelf of the oven with the sausages below for 20 mins. Mix together the mustard, ketchup, sugar and Worcestershire sauce with some seasoning. After 20 mins, stir this into the onions. Roast for 10 mins more until sticky, then remove from the oven and keep warm. The sausages should be cooked by now, but if they're not browned and crisp, tip off any juices and grill until done to your liking.
• Split the buns and serve with the crisp bacon-wrapped sausages, sticky roasted onions and oven fries, if you like.
