Method:
Start by melting the butter in a pan and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onions and fry for 25-30 minutes or until caramelised.
While caramelising the onions, cook the sausages following the instructions on the packaging.
Add the cider and simmer until reduced. Stir in the sugar and vinegar.
On a separate bowl, mix the mustard and mayonnaise, set aside.
Prepare the hot dog buns and place a sausage in each one. Top with the onions and the mustard-mayo mix and enjoy!
