BRATWURST STEWED WITH SAUERKRAUT



Bratwurst Stewed with Sauerkraut image

Wisconsin may be the cheese state, but bratwurst (ground meat sausages that are grilled, or in this case, pan-fried) are the state's culinary claim to fame. Due largely to residents' German ancestry, brats are a common site at butcher shops, restaurants and even baseball stadiums. (Madison, Wisconsin is home to an annual "Brat Fest") Michael Symon's simple recipe calls for the links to be cooked with onions, garlic and tangy sauerkraut and then served on a baguette.

This comes from another website, and I'm keeping it here so I remember that my husband wants me to make it for him! He's already let me know that he wants his brats cut up, rather than cooked whole as the recipe states.

BAKED BRATS IN CARAMELIZED SAUERKRAUT



Baked Brats in Caramelized Sauerkraut image

Baked brats in caramelized sauerkraut is a wonderfully easy sausage casserole that feeds the family on a weeknight, or a crowd on game day, you decide. It's a classic German recipe that everybody adores!

Provided by Sue Moran

Categories     Dinner Recipes

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 raw bratwurst sausages
olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 green apple, peeled and chopped
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
3 cups lightly drained sauerkraut
1 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Brush the brats lightly with olive oil.
  • Brown them in a hot pan for a few minutes on each side, until they take on some nice color. Note: I do this right in the same pan I'm going to bake in, so make sure it can accommodate everything, and is oven safe. A 9 or 10 inch cast iron skillet or grill pan works perfectly, I use this one.
  • Remove the brats to a plate and set aside. Add the onions and apples to the same pan and saute over medium heat for a couple of minutes. Stir in the brown sugar.
  • Add the spices and continue to cook, stirring often, for 2 more minutes.
  • Add the sauerkraut and cider to the pan and mix well. Make sure to get all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, that's great flavor!
  • Bring the pan up to a boil, then add the brats to the pan and nestle them deep down into the kraut so they will braise in the oven.
  • Bake, uncovered, for about 40-45 minutes, just until the brats are cooked through (internal temperature should be 160F) and the sauerkraut is nice and caramelized. Note: Give the sauerkrat a stir once or twice during cooking to redistribute the juices.
  • Serve immediately, with plenty of grainy Dijon mustard.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Dumpling Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
⅓ cup water
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 slices bacon, diced
½ large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 small Gala apple, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 (16 ounce) package sauerkraut
1 (16 ounce) package kielbasa sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a metal colander.
  • Whisk together the flour and salt in a bowl. Mix the eggs and water, and pour into the flour mixture. Stir to form a dough.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the spaetzle dough into the oiled colander, and set the colander over the pot of water. Use a flexible spatula to push the dough into the boiling water through the holes in the colander. Stir the spaetzle as they boil. When they have floated to the top, they are done (about 5 minutes). Scoop the spaetzle out of the boiling water, and place into an ungreased 9x9-inch baking dish.
  • Place the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until the bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon, leaving drippings in pan, and set aside. Cook the onion in the same pan as the bacon until browned, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until foamy, and stir in the apple and brown sugar. Cook and stir until the apple is soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon, onions, and sauerkraut into the skillet, and cook, stirring often, until the flavors have blended, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauerkraut mixture into the 9x9-inch baking dish on top of the spaetzle.
  • Place the kielbasa pieces into a microwave-safe dish, and cook on full power in a microwave oven until the sausage is hot and has lost its pink color, 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer the sausage to the baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 15 minutes.
