the sausages are grilled

For the relish, bring the vinegar, mustard seeds, and coriander seeds to a boil in a saucepan on the stovetop. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half and is slightly syrupy. Remove from the heat and add the other ingredients, stir gently, season with salt and pepper, and pour into a plastic container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Prepare the grill. Grill the hot dog sausages on all sides until browned. Cut open the hot dog buns, spread with mustard and ketchup, then place the sausages on the buns and top with the onions and relish, if desired. Fold the buns and enjoy.
