Nacho Dogs and other Manly Food is brought to you in collaboration withย Serviced Apartments Sydney

Nacho DogsI have just spent weeks trying to decide what I might do for holidays this year. It always seems sad that we ย have to work so hard the whole year for a holiday. What about a break in between all those days? What if you could get on a boat and go overseas for the weekend? In Sydney, you can and that’s what I have in mind here. The Sydney beachside suburb of Manly seems to be the perfect place for a weekend or even a long weekend trip “overseas”. ย Just so you know, Manly is a half an hour ferry ride from the centre of Sydney but when you arrive at Manly wharf you could be at any beachside holiday destination. It feels like you are in an entirely different city. ย The cafes and restaurants are a drawcard but so is the beach, the coastal walks and the festivals. See if you can spend a weekend in May when the Taste of Manly is on or in October when The Manly Jazz festival hits the street.

Nacho DogWell you know I am all about food so, to me Manly’s cafes and restaurants seem to be offering a lot of the hottest food trends from around the world.

Here are 5 ย great places to go that have some pretty photogenic and international food in Manly

1. Hemingway’sย  I got this idea for Nacho Dogs after looking at some of the food here. A snoop around the internet reveals they are quite popular indeed and with very good reason. (They were given the thumbs up at our house) It’s a casual bar with fun childhood favourites reworked. Get the address and read more about Hemingway’s

2. Ora ย Here the food is everything I want in a cafe, fresh clean and lots choices from veggie offerings to ย free range meats and dairy products. Ingredients are ethically sourced and mostly organic. ย Trends?….oh yes. Try theย wide range of water kefirs and kombuchas orย a turmeric latte!. Or theย ‘Ora bowl’. ย ‘nuf said. Check out Oraย 

3. Showbox Coffee ย This is the place for a seriously good coffee and my kind of interesting food. It’s small and just off the main drag but hunt it down at all costs. This is one of the few places in Sydney selling Poke, a popular Hawaiian dish. Maybe you’d like to try their Raw Pad Thai salad with zucchini noodles, poached chicken, peanuts, ginger and fermented cabbage. ย HERE, now that is a trend.

4. ย Jam Town ย A beach shack themed Jamaican restaurant and bar that specializes in JERK seasoning rub amongst other things. The meat tastes smoky, it’s juicy and soft it’s smoked for hours and then slow roasted. There’s Rum too, about 25 different kinds. They import a number of unusual labels that make for a good excuse to go back lots of times. Check it HERE

5. Papi Chulo ย Well for a start this is a waterfront restaurant and for once it doesn’t fall into the “we don’t have to make good food because we have a view”. No! ย The lines will tell you that the food is more than good. It’s a fusion of Canada, Southern America and Asia. Theres share plates cocktails and you can go for lunch and stay for dinner. ย Goย for burgers and Texan brisket, Cuban Sandwiches and pulled Pork and don’t forget there’s oodles of sides. Check it out hereย HERE (now closed)

Well for a weekend that’s probably enough… ย for weekends in Manly or hundreds of other accommodation options compare places and pricesย HERE

Now back to the Nacho Dogs.

Ingredients
  

You will need: A grill pan to cook the sausages

  • 1 packet corn chips nacho cheese corn chips any size
  • 6 hot dog rolls
  • 100 gm Grated Cheese mozzarella or cheddar or a mix
  • 6 sausages hot dogs
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons kewpie mayonnaise โ€“ or another mayo of your choice

Tomato salsa

  • 400 gm tomatoes 1 can chopped
  • 100 gm green capsicum rough chopped
  • 6 slices jalapeno chillies
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1/4 red onion rough chopped
  • 40 ml lemon Juice 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 bunch coriander washed stems,roots. stalks chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Guacamole

  • 1 large Avocado
  • 20 ml lemon Juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cummin

Instructions
 

  • Salsa:. Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and blitz. Leave some texture by not purรฉeing till smooth.
  • Crema: Mix the sour cream and Mayo together. Tip into a small zip lock bag or plain plastic bag and snip a tiny whole in the corner. This can be used to squirt the sauce onto the Dogs.
  • Cook the sausages on a grill pan so they taste smoky and get some nice grill marks. these could be done on the BBQ too.
  • Guacamole: Squash the avocado with a fork. Stir in the lemon, cumin and salt.
  • To put the Dogs together 1/2 the rolls without cutting all the way through. Next, the secret is to crunch up some corn chips and put them into the buns before adding cheese and then hot sausages. Spread a tablespoon of Guacamole on each one, top with salsa and Jalapenos.
  • Squirt with Crema and finish with some extra chips on top.

    YUM!
    I love me a good dog recipe. This is a nice twist on it too.
    I love a good Slaw Dog which I learnt from my Aunty in the US. One of my dads all time favourites. But we are big mexican dish fans in this house so this would be a great combo of both loves.
    Thanks for linking up to Your Weekly Feed xx

    As a hot dog aficionado, kinda sorta, I thought I’d tried hot dogs of every stripe. This nacho dog, however, is a new one. Never heard of it, let alone tried one. I am definitely going to do something about that. They sound great, Tania!

    Nachos and hot dogs – what a winning combination! I love going to Manly but I haven’t been to any of those places although Papi Chulo is top of my “Places to Eat” list!

    Manly really is becoming the place to be. I know people who are selling up in the suburb I’m living in and relocating to Manly. And yes, it’s good for a holiday destination as well but I have a friend who booked a one-week holiday in an apartment over looking the beach. She checked in on that day the rain came down and it was Noah’s flood the entire time she was there – didn’t even get out on to the balcony let alone the beach! xx

    Haha, when I read the title I thought it was nacho gods and manly (as in, chest beating, I’m a testosterone filled human) foods. I thought, YEAH, my husband will love this post! While I was a bit mistaken, he’s still going to love these nacho dogs. Genius idea ๐Ÿ™‚ x

    Thanks for the link love Tania! And we went out west on the weekend because it felt like we were in a different country. It’s so nice to be able to get little breaks while not leaving your own city.
