Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 links good-quality bratwurst, bockwurst, weisswurst, or knackwurst sausages
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil, plus a drizzle
1 cup white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar, eyeball it
8 peppercorns
2 to 3 whole cloves
2 fresh bay leaves
1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
1 small head red cabbage or 1/2 medium head, cored and thinly shredded, 1 pound
1 medium red onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
1 green apple, quartered, cored, and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon caraway seed or cumin seed, optional
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices pumpernickel bread
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, or flat-leaf parsley
1 cup good quality spicy mustard
Fresh radishes, trimmed and lightly salted
Cornichons or baby gherkin pickles

Steps:

  • Put the sausages in a skillet over high heat and add 1/2-inch of water and a drizzle of oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and allow the liquid to evaporate, cooking the sausages through. Once the liquid evaporates, the oil will help brown and crisp up the casings.
  • Combine the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, and sea salt in a small pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, stir, then lower the heat to medium-low and let the brine reduce for 5 to 6 minutes.
  • While the brine reduces, combine the cabbage, red onions, and apples in a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with caraway or cumin seed, if you like the flavor.
  • Pour the hot reduced brine through a strainer over the cabbage mixture in a slow stream. Evenly distribute it, then pour about 1/4 cup of oil over the salad. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
  • Toast the bread. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the herbs. Spread the mixture on the warm toast.
  • Serve the sausages with the toast, slaw salad, mustard, radishes, and pickles.

KNOCKWURST WITH BRAISED CABBAGE AND APPLES



Knockwurst with Braised Cabbage and Apples image

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 pounds green cabbage (about 1 head), cored and thinly sliced
1 large, tart green apple, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 cup apple cider
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
9 knockwurst (about 2 pounds)
Whole-grain mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden brown, about 18 minutes.
  • Stir in the cabbage, apple, cider, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very soft, about 1 hour.
  • Tuck the sausages into the cabbage; cover the pot. Cook until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve with mustard.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of knockwurst: There are many different types of knockwurst available, so it's important to choose one that you like the flavor of. Some popular types include Thuringer, Bavarian, and Polish.
  • Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the knockwurst from sticking.
  • Brown the knockwurst before braising: This will help to develop the flavor and create a nice crust.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give the knockwurst its flavor, so be sure to use something that you like the taste of. Some good options include beer, chicken broth, or apple cider.
  • Add vegetables to the braising liquid: This will help to add flavor and nutrition to the dish. Some good options include cabbage, onions, carrots, and celery.
  • Simmer the knockwurst until it is cooked through: This will usually take about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Serve the knockwurst with your favorite sides: Some good options include mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Knockwurst with braised cabbage and apples is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The knockwurst is tender and juicy, the cabbage is sweet and tangy, and the apples add a touch of sweetness and crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
