Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 links fully cooked bratwurst (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup lager
Sub rolls, sauerkraut and mustard, for serving

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium high. Tear off a 20-inch-long piece of heavy-duty foil. Put the onion, garlic and bay leaf on the foil, piling them on one side; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dot with the butter and place the bratwurst on top. Fold the foil over the onions and bratwurst, then fold in the edges on two sides to seal, leaving one side open. Carefully pour the beer into the open side, then fold in the edge to seal.
Place the foil packet on the grill onion-side down; cook 10 minutes, then carefully flip and continue grilling until the onion is softened and the bratwurst is warmed through, 10 more minutes. Meanwhile, grill the rolls until toasted.
Carefully open the packet. Remove the bratwurst and grill, turning, until lightly charred all over, 3 to 5 minutes. Return to the packet to toss with the onion. Serve with the rolls, sauerkraut and mustard.

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups German light ale (about four 12-ounce beers)
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
3 large onions, unpeeled, roughly chopped
2 whole cloves garlic, smashed
1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
3 pounds precooked bratwurst, pricked with a fork (about 15 links)
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

Preheat a grill to high. Combine the beer, caraway seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, onions, garlic and ginger in a large stockpot. Add the bratwurst. Place the pot on the grates of the grill and bring to a simmer. Simmer the sausages, about 5 minutes.
Remove the pot from the grill and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for about 30 minutes. Transfer the brats to a platter or cutting board.
Brush the bratwurst with the canola oil and grill until the casings are crisp and golden brown and the brats are warmed through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Keep warm until serving.
