Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 links fully cooked bratwurst (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup lager
Sub rolls, sauerkraut and mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Tear off a 20-inch-long piece of heavy-duty foil. Put the onion, garlic and bay leaf on the foil, piling them on one side; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dot with the butter and place the bratwurst on top. Fold the foil over the onions and bratwurst, then fold in the edges on two sides to seal, leaving one side open. Carefully pour the beer into the open side, then fold in the edge to seal.
  • Place the foil packet on the grill onion-side down; cook 10 minutes, then carefully flip and continue grilling until the onion is softened and the bratwurst is warmed through, 10 more minutes. Meanwhile, grill the rolls until toasted.
  • Carefully open the packet. Remove the bratwurst and grill, turning, until lightly charred all over, 3 to 5 minutes. Return to the packet to toss with the onion. Serve with the rolls, sauerkraut and mustard.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds precooked bratwurst, pricked with a fork
6 cups German beer
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
2 large onions, sliced
One 6-inch hand ginger, sliced into rough coins
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup cider vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
8 soft hoagie rolls

Steps:

  • Put the bratwurst, beer, 1 cup water, the caraway, coriander, mustard seeds, onions and ginger in a medium stockpot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes. Cover, remove from the heat, and let stand 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the brats to a bowl. Strain the cooking liquid into another bowl, and discard the solids.
  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, add the cabbage and toss to coat. Add 1 cup of the strained bratwurst liquid, and cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the honey, the vinegar and some salt and pepper. Toss to coat, and cook another 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Preheat the grill to high, with direct and indirect heat. Grill the sausages over direct heat until the casings are crisp and golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move the brats to indirect heat, cover the grill, and cook another 5 minutes.
  • While the brats cook, whisk the mustard, the remaining 2 tablespoons honey, some salt and pepper and a few tablespoons of the bratwurst liquid in a small bowl; the mixture should be syrupy. When the sausage are done, remove them to a platter and brush with the glaze.
  • Split the hoagie rolls and grill cut-side down until toasted, about 30 seconds. Put a brat in each roll and top with some cabbage, then serve.
