WISCONSIN BEER BRATS

For these brawny dogs, bratwursts are simmered in a mixture of beer with sweet onions, caraway seeds, and a spoonful of sugar, then charred on the grill. If you're going full-on, the onions are strained and sauteed in a skillet on the grill until golden, then mixed with sauerkraut. You'll be booed out of Wisconsin if you bring soft potato buns to the party -- for a true cheesehead, only a sturdy hoagie roll will do.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large sweet onions, such as Vidalia, halved and thinly sliced (4 cups)
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 dried bay leaf
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
6 precooked bratwursts
2 bottles (each 12 ounces) lager beer
2 cups sauerkraut, strained
6 hoagie rolls, split

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, grill-safe straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden in places, about 20 minutes. Stir in caraway seeds, bay leaf, mustard, and brown sugar; cook 30 seconds. Add bratwursts and beer. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, turning bratwursts occasionally, 20 minutes.
  • Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking (medium-high on a gas grill). Transfer bratwursts to a plate. Drain onion mixture in a fine-mesh sieve; discard liquid. Return mixture to skillet with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place on one side of grill and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut; cook 1 minute more.
  • Meanwhile, place bratwursts on grill and cook, turning a few times, until blistered in places, about 5 minutes. Place rolls on grill, cut-sides down, until lightly toasted and charred in places, about 1 minute.
  • Serve bratwursts in rolls, topped with sauerkraut mixture and more mustard.

WISCONSIN BRATWURST



Wisconsin Bratwurst image

This is the only way to cook bratwurst in Wisconsin. The brats are incredibly tasty! If you can get fresh bratwurst from a sausage shop, do it... it is worth the extra cost. Serve with brown mustard on substantial hoagie rolls, never on hot dog buns. Mustard is important and must always be stone ground. Add warm sauerkraut and ketchup, if you like. Chow down! Think about those Wisconsin summers! Listen to some polka!

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help to sear the brats and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the brats for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through:
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the brats has reached 160°F (71°C).
  • Allow the brats to rest for 5 minutes before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
