Sounds like a winning combination, doesn’t it? They are as delicious together as they are separately. Although, I argue each is improved by the other.
Here’s a simple way to combine them in one dish. It would be a great way to break out the grill this weekend.
Beer Braised Brats
Serves 4 to 6
6 uncooked bratwurst sausages (can be turkey)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
24 oz beer (cook’s choice)
Place bratwurst in a large saucepan. Top with sliced onion.
Pour beer over top. Use a beer you are willing to drink.
Turn heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Once it starts bubbling, turn it down to low and let it simmer for about 8 minutes.
While the sausage are simmering, start your grill fire or preheat to high.
Remove the brats from the beer and place them on the grill. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently until evenly brown.
They would be excellent served on hearty buns topped with spicy brown mustard and sauerkraut, but I dished them up with sauerkraut perogies and sauteed onions. And more beer, of course.
Just trying to represent. Toast to Cleveland. Na zdravi. (To your health.)
I ate those exact same perogies growing up! My parents still go visit the Ukranian women that make them most Fridays. We would eat the sauerkraut ones before putting them in the freezer sometimes cause they are THAT good and fresh. Awesome recipe!
