BEER GLAZED BRATS AND SAUERKRAUT



Beer Glazed Brats and Sauerkraut image

I came up with this recipe, because simply simmering sausages in beer and onions tasted weak. I was looking for a more intense beer flavor with a little bite, and this is it. A very satisfying dish if you crave German flavor that's Americanized. We love this dish served on potato rolls with spicy hot German mustard, Swiss cheese, and ice cold beer on the side.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

⅛ teaspoon celery seeds
⅛ teaspoon caraway seeds
1 pound fresh bratwurst sausages
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pound sauerkraut (preferably barrel-aged), drained

Steps:

  • Crush celery seeds and caraway seeds in a mortar and pestle until ground; set aside.
  • Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Mix beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, black pepper, dill weed, and crushed celery and caraway seeds in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar; pour over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and raise heat to medium; boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 20 minutes. Tilt skillet to roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer sausage to a platter and keep warm. Cook and stir sauerkraut in the same skillet to mix in any leftover sauce, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with cooked bratwurst.

BRATWURST AND SAUERKRAUT SKILLET

My mother used to make this all the time. It's a recipe that's been passed down the German side of my family for many generations, and we've all put our own spin on it over time. Feel free to add your own, too. Use a beer you like to drink, or leave out the sugar and use apple cider, if you prefer.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb bratwurst
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained
1 medium onion, sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 (16 ounce) bottle beer
6 hot dog buns or 6 hoagie rolls
6 teaspoons spicy brown mustard

Steps:

  • Brown sausages and onion slices in oil in a wide skillet. The sausages do not need to be cooked through at this stage, you just want to get some color on them.
  • Add sauerkraut, sugar, and beer. Stir as best you can around the sausages.
  • Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sausages are cooked through.
  • Spread buns or rolls with mustard, and add a sausage and a bit of the sauerkraut and onion to each.
  • This is great accompanied by the same beer you cooked with.

Had this at a farm sell. The sauerkraut on top of the brat was just great! This can easily be made for a large crowd and keep in a roaster.

BRATWURST STEWED WITH SAUERKRAUT

Wisconsin may be the cheese state, but bratwurst (ground meat sausages that are grilled, or in this case, pan-fried) are the state's culinary claim to fame. Due largely to residents' German ancestry, brats are a common site at butcher shops, restaurants and even baseball stadiums. (Madison, Wisconsin is home to an annual "Brat Fest") Michael Symon's simple recipe calls for the links to be cooked with onions, garlic and tangy sauerkraut and then served on a baguette.
