Grilled Bratwurst with Rosemary-Lemon Cannellini Beans and Grilled Bread image

Beans and sausage are a classic combination that I typically have during the winter months. But I wanted to find a way to serve up a lighter version that can be made on a grill during the summer. The grilled bratwurst pairs perfectly with cannellini beans cooked with red onion, rosemary and fresh lemon juice and zest. I serve this dish simply with some grilled bread rubbed with garlic for the perfect summertime meal.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup sliced)
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, 1 minced and 1 whole, skin removed
2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
1/4 teaspoon Calabrian chile paste or crushed red pepper flakes
One 15 1/2-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
4 bratwurst sausages (about 1 to 1 1/4 pounds total)
Four 1/2-inch-thick slices bread (ciabatta, sourdough or French)
Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 packed teaspoon)
2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat one side of a charcoal or gas grill over medium heat and leave the other side off.
  • Set a small (1 1/2-quart) saucepan on the direct heat (hot) side of the grill. Add 2 tablespoons oil and heat about 1 minute. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt. Cook the onion until they softened and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary and chile paste and cook until very fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the beans, season with salt, and pour in the broth and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to come to a bare simmer, then move it to the indirect heat (cool) side of the grill. Cook the beans over indirect heat, stirring occasionally, until the broth is reduced to 1/4 to 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes.
  • Lightly grease the bratwurst with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the sausages on the direct heat side of the grill and cook until deep grill marks appear on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move the sausages over to the indirect heat side of the grill. (It's okay if the beans need to move closer to the direct heat side, just stir more often and remove once the broth is reduced.) Continue grilling the sausages over indirect heat until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the sausages from the grill and let rest about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly brush both sides of the bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill the bread over direct heat until crispy and charred in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove and immediately rub with the whole garlic clove and season with salt.
  • When the beans have finished cooking, stir in the lemon zest, parsley and salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and Parmesan. Top the beans with the grilled sausage and grilled bread. Serve immediately.

This recipe is not worth the effort. The bratwurst was dry and the beans were mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bratwurst was overcooked. I think it would be better to cook it for less time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of bratwurst, but this recipe changed my mind. The rosemary-lemon cannellini beans were the perfect complement to the bratwurst.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bratwurst. I had some leftover from a cookout and I didn't know what to do with them. This recipe was the perfect solution!
