2 tbsp Essential Olive Oil
3 onions, halved and sliced
300ml Leffe Blonde
1 tsp Essential Clear Honey
140g pack Waitrose 4 Classic Frankfurters
4 hot dog rolls
Mustard
Spiced pickled red cabbage, to serve (optional)

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and fry for 10 minutes until turning golden. Add the beer and honey, then simmer briskly for 15-20 minutes until reduced and the onions are sticky.
Meanwhile, heat the frankfurters according to pack instructions.
Split open the hot dog rolls and add a little pickled red cabbage, if using. Top with the frankfurters and a heap of the beer-braised onions. Finish with more pickled red cabbage and some mustard, if liked, and serve immediately.
