Grilled Bratwurst With Braised Cabbage Recipes

GRILLED BRATWURST WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine the hard cider, 1 cup of the broth and the bratwurst in a large saucepan, bring to a simmer and gently simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup broth and simmer until the onions are browned and completely soft, about 5 minutes more. Keep the onion mixture warm while you cook the bratwurst.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Transfer the bratwurst to the grill or grill pan and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Lightly grill the pretzel rolls, cut-side down. Serve the bratwurst topped with the onions and with the pretzel rolls and mustard on the side.

GRILLED BRATWURST WITH RED CABBAGE-GRAPE SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Whisk the mustard, vinegar, olive oil, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the red cabbage and grapes; toss to coat.
• Oil the grill, then add the onion rounds and bratwursts. Cook the onion rounds, flipping halfway through, until softened and charred, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to a cutting board. Cook the bratwursts, turning, until warmed through and charred all over, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Open the hot dog buns and add them to the grill, open-side down; grill until toasted, about 30 seconds. Flip and grill the outsides. Chop the grilled onion.
• Divide the hot dog buns among plates and spread with mustard. Fill with the bratwursts, slaw and grilled onion. Serve with potato chips or pretzels.

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.
