SKILLET BRATS WITH BEER CARAMELIZED PEPPERS AND ONIONS
This recipe alludes to my time at culinary school. Right around the fall, it was standard to head to the Hudson River with my fellow comrades, drinking beer and cooking the brats on an open fire. By caramelizing the brats in the beer sauce, they just get better and better.

Steps:
- Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, then the onions, peppers and garlic. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they just begin to soften and the onions turn translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Move the onions and peppers to the side of the skillet and add the bratwurst. Score the bratwurst with a knife on both sides. Add to the pan and sear, about 3 minutes per side. Add the beer to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook, turning the bratwurst and stirring the vegetables occasionally, until the beer reduces by half and the brats are cooked through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve with hot pepper mustard and pretzel rolls.
- Whisk together the vinegar, water, honey, sugar, banana peppers, bell peppers, onions and garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low/medium low and simmer until the peppers and onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a small food processor or blender and puree until very smooth. Add the mustard and puree until just incorporated. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely, then refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes.
GRILLED BEER BRATS WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large, deep saute pan or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, the green and red peppers and the garlic and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the peppers are wilted and lightly browned. Add the beer, chicken stock, thyme, bay leaf and rosemary and deglaze the pan. Prick holes in the brats with a fork or skewer to prevent them from bursting during cooking. Add the brats to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 to 17 minutes, turning the brats halfway through.
- Preheat a grill or cast-iron griddle to medium-high heat.
- Remove the brats from the pot; let the braising liquid continue to simmer and reduce. Pat the brats dry with paper towels, then score them diagonally, making 3 or 4 shallow incisions on either side (this will ensure plenty of crispy edges when grilled). Brush the grill lightly with oil and grill the brats for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until well-marked.
- When the braising liquid has reduced to the consistency of a sauce, remove it from the heat and stir in the mustard and butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- To serve, spoon some of the braising sauce, along with the peppers and onions, onto a platter. Set the grilled brats on top and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
