Beer Bratwurst And Cabbage Recipes

ONE-PAN BRATS AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and heat until shimmering.
• Carefully place the brats in the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Add apple juice and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook until the sausages are cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Remove the sausages and set aside, leaving any cooking liquids in the skillet.
• Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and browned slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the coleslaw mix, apple cider vinegar, caraway seeds and red pepper flakes, then season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the coleslaw is wilted, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the sliced apples and let cook until warmed through, another 2 minutes.
• Return the cooked sausages to the skillet and serve.

BEER BRATWURST AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Poke holes in the beer bratwurst and pre-cook the package in the microwave for about 4 minutes. (This gets alot of the grease out.) After pre-cooking, cut the bratwurst into 1/2 inch slices and set aside.
• Put onions, bell peppers, and cabbage in a pot with oil. Cover and cook on medium for about 30 minutes. Check it often and stir.
• Add bratwurst, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 20 minutes. Serve.
• (**Use the Del Monte tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano.).

BEER-SIMMERED BRATWURST WITH ONIONS AND RED CABBAGE SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high. Arrange the onion slices and garlic along the bottom of a medium stockpot. Place the bratwurst on top and then add the beer, water, coriander, caraway, mustard seeds, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over the grill grates or on a burner. Simmer the sausages in the mixture for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for 10 minutes.
• Remove the sausages with a pair of tongs onto a platter. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Grill the sausages until the casings are crisp and golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the bratwurst on the buns with the onions, mustard and sauerkraut, if desired. Garnish with pickles, pickled beets, and pickled eggs, if desired.
• Preheat grill to high. In a medium saucepan, combine the oil, vinegar, water, and sugar over medium heat, and cook until the sugar has melted. Add the mustard seeds, garlic, and cabbage, and cook until the cabbage is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

BEER GLAZED GRILLED BRATWURST WITH WILTED RED CABBAGE SLAW

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.
