Method

  • Step 1

    In a small bowl, add all the dressing ingredients and mix until combined. 

  • Step 2

    In a medium bowl, toss the onions with 1 tablespoon oil. Season the sausage with the remaining 1 tablespoon. 

  • Step 3

    To install the grill plate, position it flat on top of the heating element and gently press down until it sits into place, then close the lid. 

  • Step 4

    Turn dial to GRILL, set temperature to MED and set time 10 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (IGN and preheating will take approx. 10 minutes). 

  • Step 5

    When unit beeps to signify it is preheated and “ADD FOOD” is displayed, open the lid, add the sausages to one side of the grill and onions to the other. Close the lid to begin cooking.

  • Step 6

    When the unit beeps and displays FLIP, open the lid and turn the sausages. Give the onions a stir, then brush with butter. Close the lid to continue cooking, check if cooked after 8 minutes and remove cooked food if necessary. 

  • Step 7

    When cooking is complete, transfer sausages and onions to a plate. Place the hot dog buns cut side down to the grill. Close the lid and leave to toast in the residual heat for 1 to 2 minutes. 

  • Step 8

    To serve, divide the Emmental cheese slices between the toasted buns and top with sausages and onions (split standard sausages in half lengthways to fill the buns, if using). Top with sauerkraut if desired, followed by prepared dressing and chives.
