BRATWURST AND SAUERKRAUT SKILLET



Bratwurst and Sauerkraut Skillet image

My mother used to make this all the time. It's a recipe that's been passed down the German side of my family for many generations, and we've all put our own spin on it over time. Feel free to add your own, too. Use a beer you like to drink, or leave out the sugar and use apple cider, if you prefer.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb bratwurst
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained
1 medium onion, sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 (16 ounce) bottle beer
6 hot dog buns or 6 hoagie rolls
6 teaspoons spicy brown mustard

Steps:

  • Brown sausages and onion slices in oil in a wide skillet. The sausages do not need to be cooked through at this stage, you just want to get some color on them.
  • Add sauerkraut, sugar, and beer. Stir as best you can around the sausages.
  • Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sausages are cooked through.
  • Spread buns or rolls with mustard, and add a sausage and a bit of the sauerkraut and onion to each.
  • This is great accompanied by the same beer you cooked with.

BRATWURST AND SAUERKRAUT

Note: If using a light tasting beer like the Blue Moon we used in this recipe, the sugar listed below in the ingredients list may not be necessary. However if you are using a dark or more bitter beer, sugar should be used to avoid a bitter aftertaste.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
10 uncooked bratwurst sausages
1 pound onions, large dice
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon dry ground mustard
1 pound fresh green cabbage shredded thin (We used a mandolin)
2 pounds fresh drained sauerkraut (or canned if fresh is not available)
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, see note above)
1 12-ounce bottle of ale such as Blue Moon (see note above)
Long sub rolls or boiled potatoes, for serving
Mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • If you plan to serve this dish as an entrée with boiled potatoes instead of as a sandwich, begin preparing the potatoes now.
  • In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat and add bratwurst. Brown each side for two minutes turning a quarter turn each time so all four sides get browned. If they are curled, I found that stacking them against each other while cooking will keep them from flipping on their side. Once browned, remove to a platter and set aside.
  • In the same pan, raise the heat to medium high and add onions. Cook for four minutes stirring with a wooden spoon.
  • Add garlic, celery salt, caraway seeds and dry mustard. Stir and cook one minute.
  • Add cabbage and cook for five minutes.
  • Add drained sauerkraut, optional sugar, beer and browned bratwurst. Nestle the bratwurst into the mixture so they are totally covered. Bring to a boil, cover and lower to a simmer. Cook five minutes then remove cover and turn bratwurst. Raise heat to a medium simmer and with cover off cook 5-7 more minutes to cook off some of the liquid and to finish cooking the bratwurst. It is OK to still have some liquid in pan.
  • Serve on rolls with spicy, yellow mustard or serve with boiled potatoes as a complete meal.

BRATWURST STEWED WITH SAUERKRAUT



Bratwurst Stewed with Sauerkraut image

Wisconsin may be the cheese state, but bratwurst (ground meat sausages that are grilled, or in this case, pan-fried) are the state's culinary claim to fame. Due largely to residents' German ancestry, brats are a common site at butcher shops, restaurants and even baseball stadiums. (Madison, Wisconsin is home to an annual "Brat Fest") Michael Symon's simple recipe calls for the links to be cooked with onions, garlic and tangy sauerkraut and then served on a baguette.
