My favorite grilled bratwurst recipe. Great in the summer for eating outdoors, or in the winter for those dinners in the holiday weeks!
Food:
5 bratwursts
5 thick buns
Your choice of side. For special occasions, Kirra's Best Baked Beans Ever from a while back is great!
Condiments and fixin's:
1 can/bottle inexpensive beer.
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 small/medium yellow onion
2 tablespoons mustard. Brown or dijon is ideal but yellow will work.
1/2 tablespoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 stick butter
Items:
Charcoal
Grill
sheet metal pan
Good grill tongs
Cut the onion and peppers into strips
Melt the butter in the pan over the fire
When butter is melted, add peppers, onions, salt, pepper, and fennel seed. Stir thoroughly.
When peppers and onions start getting soft, add the beer and mustard. Stir thoroughly. If beer evaporates too much, add more.
grill bratwursts over fire, preferably with grate lowered so as not to burn them. Once bratwursts are grilled, add to pan with peppers. Cover brats with peppers and onions in the pan. Grill for an additional 15 minutes or so.
Serve entire pan; everyone can fit their brats with their own selection of peppers and onions from the pan, plus katsup, mustard, horseradish, whatever, plus your side.
Under no circumstances spill the mixture from the pan. It is unbelievably messy, and slippery and you will almost certainly fall and injure yourself cleaning it up... trust me.
