Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 head green cabbage, cored and very thinly sliced
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Kosher salt
1 pound bratwursts (not precooked)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons chopped dill, optional
Assorted mustards for serving, such as whole grain, Dijon, honey mustard and brown

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill for direct and indirect cooking.
  • Toss the cabbage with the shallots, vinegar, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Stir well and let stand for 15 minutes.
