Bratwurst

[donutfj80]

I got some fresh brats from the butcher today, what are you guys doing with them besides grilling?

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Occasionally, I like to boil them in a Woodchuck Apple Cider (or similar), slice it and throw it in with some spatzle and a gruyere sauce..

Indirect grilling.

 

[BrotherRob]

Precook, slice and saute with veggies and herbs. Serve over pasta or rice.

The spatzle way sounds interesting J!

For brats or andouille I have a lentil salad recipe that is killer...for a filling side dish. Cooked green lentils, sausage, mustard vinaigrette parsley, scallions, etc. Its a Fine Cooking recipe (Molly Stevens) from a few years ago and has remained a staple for us. More of a fall/winter dish...

So this is what went down...
Sauteed up 2 big Vidalia onions sliced thin with garlic and OB's Irie sauce. Threw in Brats and a can of Saranac Pilsner. When the brats were cooked, I threw them on the grill for a little bit and cooked the onion down on the stove.

There's no wrong way to eat a brat.

Grilled, sliced down the middle, sauerkraut, a good mustard, hoagie roll. Sides of your choice. Beer of your choice.

THIS

I grill 'em or smoke 'em. Once in a while Boil them a bit in some cheap beer before grilling.

Brats and eggs. Sliced up and put into breakfast burrito. Totally underrated breakfast food. As a WI boy originally, I agree there is no wrong way to eat a beat.

A layer of kraut and new potatoes in the steamer basket then lay the brats in. Fill the boiler part with beer, steam until the taters are done. Serve with course ground German mustard. Awesome fall dinner.

Unless you put ketchup on it.

I found these at the store and they are awesome. http://www.johnsonville.com/products/cheddar-cheese-bacon.html

I grill them, put them on a toasted pretzel bun with a squirt of Grey Poupon.

 

[JohnVee]

Grey Poupon.

I hope your Rolls Royce chauffeur handed it to you. Ah, civility.

Myquesttoyota and reevesci,
Of the 4 basic French sauces, red (tomatoe) is one. When told at a high end deli that they don't have ketchup I simply tell them that if they don't have a basic French sauce to just put some white truffle oil on it and it should be ok

 

[ScottT]

Btw I like to smoke brats for 30 min to an hour usually using oak smoke. Then put on a French roll with Duseldorfer mustard and a little slow cooked onion and chopped pickle. Ketchup is optional.

My last ones were Farmer John hot Louisiana sausages on steak rolls with whole kernel mustard and Klassen sweet relish. Heaven.
