Another one of my own, for once.

Carrot Dogs
From: Pam Wagner

Large whole organic carrots
Hot dog buns
Favorite condiments

Wash, peel and trim the ends of the carrots.
Steam until just tender; you want the carrots cooked but still able to hold their shape when lifted with tongs.
Refrigerate overnight covered well but out of liquid.

At your cookout, put the cold carrot directly on the grill and cook until grill marks appear and heated through.
Put in bun and cover with favorite hot dog condiments.

Obviously, this does not imitate regular hot dogs, but IMO it is a good base for the condiments and is a lot better than rubbery vegetarian/vegan hot dogs!
