Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Cut the tops off the garlic heads, exposing the cloves and place each head, cut side up, on a square of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over each garlic head.
3
Wrap the garlic tightly in the foil to create a packet, ensuring no air escapes. Place the packets on the oven rack.
4
Roast the garlic for approximately 45 minutes, or until tender and fragrant. Once done, carefully open the foil packets and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes.
5
While the garlic is cooling, prepare the relish. In a small bowl, combine the diced roasted red pepper, chopped parsley, and a pinch of coarse kosher salt. Mix well and set aside.
6
For the hot dogs, grill the all-beef hot dogs until well-cooked and slightly charred.
7
To assemble, arrange the grilled hot dog buns on plates, placing a hot dog in each bun. Generously top with the grated Manchego cheese, followed by a generous scoop of the roasted garlic and red pepper relish.
8
Finally, drizzle your choice of sherry wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar over the top for an extra touch of flavor before serving.
