Bratwurst With Tomato Pepper Relish Recipes

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from heat source. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. In a shallow baking dish or baking sheet, toss the sausages with the peppers, tomatoes, garlic, shallots and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.
• Broil until the sausage is cooked through and the peppers and tomatoes are nicely charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Rotate the pan and ingredients as needed so everything gets under the broiler. If everything is charring too quickly, cover the pan with foil. Serve immediately.

TOMATO, CUCUMBER, AND RED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• In a large bowl toss together the red pepper, cucumber, and tomato. Add the oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

HOAGIES WITH QUICK PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• For the pepper relish: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the Fresno chiles, garlic, jalapenos, bell peppers and onion and sauté for to 4 minutes to soften. Add the vinegar, honey and mustard seeds. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: While the relish cooks, grease a griddle with the butter and place it over medium-high heat. When the griddle is hot, add the sausage pieces cut-side down and cook until well browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and place 2 pieces of provolone onto each sausage piece. Cook until the cheese has melted completely, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Build the sandwiches by spreading the mayonnaise on the bottoms of each bun and laying on a piece of lettuce. Top each with a cheese-covered sausage piece and a generous portion of the pepper relish. Replace the top half of the buns and serve.

SAUERKRAUT RELISH

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the sauerkraut, green peppers, red peppers, celery, onion, vinegar and sugar. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight before serving.
