Grilled Bratwurst Recipes

GRILLED BRATWURST

Steps:

• Put 2 beers in a pot.
• Throw in a chopped onion and the brats. If you need more liquid to cover the brats, add water.
• Bring the beer to a simmer (Don't let it boil - ever! When steam begins to rise from the top of the liquid, it's just right. Boiling will cause the brats to burst).
• Simmer the brats for 20 minutes.
• Throw out the beer/onion mixture.
• Place brats on the grill 7-9 inches above the coals.
• Use tongs to turn the brats often until golden brown on all sides, about 10-15 minutes if you have pre-simmered them.
• Cover grill between turns.

• Transfer the brats to the direct heat side of the heat and grill for 1-2 minutes to cook the exterior casing.
• Place the buns slit side down on the grill and grill for a few seconds until they are crisp.
• Remove the buns and the bratwursts from the grill. Place a brat in a bun, and top with your preferred toppings (mustard and sauerkraut for me!)

GRILLED BRATWURST WITH ROSEMARY-LEMON CANNELLINI BEANS AND GRILLED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat one side of a charcoal or gas grill over medium heat and leave the other side off.
• Set a small (1 1/2-quart) saucepan on the direct heat (hot) side of the grill. Add 2 tablespoons oil and heat about 1 minute. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt. Cook the onion until they softened and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary and chile paste and cook until very fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the beans, season with salt, and pour in the broth and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to come to a bare simmer, then move it to the indirect heat (cool) side of the grill. Cook the beans over indirect heat, stirring occasionally, until the broth is reduced to 1/4 to 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes.
• Lightly grease the bratwurst with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the sausages on the direct heat side of the grill and cook until deep grill marks appear on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move the sausages over to the indirect heat side of the grill. (It's okay if the beans need to move closer to the direct heat side, just stir more often and remove once the broth is reduced.) Continue grilling the sausages over indirect heat until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the sausages from the grill and let rest about 5 minutes.
• Lightly brush both sides of the bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill the bread over direct heat until crispy and charred in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove and immediately rub with the whole garlic clove and season with salt.
• When the beans have finished cooking, stir in the lemon zest, parsley and salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and Parmesan. Top the beans with the grilled sausage and grilled bread. Serve immediately.
