Mediterranean Hot Dogs

Ingredients:
4 good-quality lean beef sausages
1/4 cup low-fat natural yoghurt
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbs finely chopped fresh mint
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 large baguette (French breadstick), to serve
2 tbs bought reduced-fat hummus
8 baby cos leaves, washed, dried
1/4 cup drained semi-dried tomatoes, drained on paper towel
Directions:
Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill pan on medium. Cook sausages on preheated grill, turning occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Meanwhile, combine the yoghurt, lemon juice and mint in a small bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Use a large serrated knife to cut the baguette crossways into 4 equal portions. Make a lengthways cut in the side of each baguette (do not cut all the way through). Spread the inside of each baguette with hummus. Divide the lettuce, sausages and semi-dried tomatoes among the baguettes. Top with yoghurt mixture and serve immediately.
