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.

Provided by Martha

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.

BEER GLAZED BRATS AND SAUERKRAUT



Beer Glazed Brats and Sauerkraut image

I came up with this recipe, because simply simmering sausages in beer and onions tasted weak. I was looking for a more intense beer flavor with a little bite, and this is it. A very satisfying dish if you crave German flavor that's Americanized. We love this dish served on potato rolls with spicy hot German mustard, Swiss cheese, and ice cold beer on the side.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

⅛ teaspoon celery seeds
⅛ teaspoon caraway seeds
1 pound fresh bratwurst sausages
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pound sauerkraut (preferably barrel-aged), drained

Steps:

  • Crush celery seeds and caraway seeds in a mortar and pestle until ground; set aside.
  • Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Mix beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, black pepper, dill weed, and crushed celery and caraway seeds in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar; pour over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and raise heat to medium; boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 20 minutes. Tilt skillet to roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer sausage to a platter and keep warm. Cook and stir sauerkraut in the same skillet to mix in any leftover sauce, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with cooked bratwurst.

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 sugar
1 (16 ounce) bottle beer
6 hot dog buns or 6 hoagie rolls

  • Serve the bratwurst with your favorite toppings: Bratwurst can be served with a variety of toppings, such as sauerkraut, onions, peppers, and mustard. You can also serve bratwurst with a side of potatoes, bread, or salad.
