Categories     Pork

Time 55m

Yield 8 Bratwursts, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 bratwursts (I like Johnsonville, but any brand will work)
8 hot dog buns (I like to get bakery style if possible)
1 green pepper, thin sliced in strips
1 red pepper, thin sliced in strips
1 yellow pepper, thin sliced in strips
1 large onion, cut in half and thin sliced
24 ounces dark beer, I prefer amber bock but use your favorite (2 bottles, 18 oz for the brats and vegetables and 6 oz for the sauerkraut)
3 garlic cloves, just smashed and skins removed no reason to cut
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (15 ounce) can quality sauerkraut, drained well (you can also use a fresh bagged brand too)
8 tablespoons pepper relish (many quality store brands, I love it on burgers, dogs, brats, just about anything)
Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
aluminum foil and tins for cooking the brats and sauerkraut

Steps:

  • Vegetables and Brats -- In a aluminum pan add the beer, peppers, onions and brats. Also add the red peppers, garlic and cover with foil and let simmer on medium/low heat on the grill for about 20 minutes. Remove the cover and cook 10 more minutes, then transfer the brats to the grill as you finish cooking the peppers. Without the foil on season with salt and pepper and let some of the liquid reduce. The brats lightly brown on the grill.
  • Sauerkraut -- Also when you put the vegetables and brats in the aluminum tin also add the sauerkraut to a smaller aluminum pan along with the remaining 6 oz of beer, cover with foil and set on the grill on indirect heat. You just want to heat it up is all. About 15 minutes. Right at the end of cooking, uncover and let some of the liquid evaporate.
  • Buns -- Remove the cooked brats and put back on top of the vegetables and recover also remove the sauerkraut. and keep covered. Now grill the buns lightly.
  • Dinner -- Now add a little dijon mustard to the bun, 1 tablespoon of the pepper relish, the brat, some of the peppers and onions and top with the kraut. Now that is a classic bratwurst.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beer: Use a beer that you enjoy drinking. A light beer will produce a lighter relish, while a dark beer will produce a more robust flavor. Some popular choices include pilsner, lager, and stout.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the relish will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. If you can, grow your own herbs or buy them from a local farmer's market.
  • Chop the vegetables finely: This will help the relish to have a more even consistency. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to chop the vegetables.
  • Simmer the relish for at least 30 minutes: This will help to develop the flavors and thicken the relish. You can simmer the relish for longer if you want a thicker consistency.
  • Taste the relish before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or sugar.

Conclusion:

Beer brats are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a tailgate party. A homemade relish is the perfect condiment for beer brats.
