Serves 4

• 1 package Bratwurst Sausages
• 24 oz beer
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• Olive oil
• Sauerkraut
• Mustard
• Buns

 

Simmer the sausages

Place bratwurst, beer and onions in a saucepan and place over medium-high heat.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and gently simmer for 20-25 minutes.

 

Cook onions

Remove bratwurst from beer, strain onions and discard beer. Heat a saucepan over moderate heat, add olive oil and onions and cook until just browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

Grill sausages

Grill bratwurst until nice grill marks have formed and sausage is warmed through.

 

Assemble your sandwiches

Place brats on buns, garnish with onions, add condiments according to your tastes.  Sauerkraut is especially appropriate here, as is whole grain mustard, any other pickles, or grilled peppers.
