DARK BEER BASTED KNOCKWURST WITH ONIONS AND HOT MUSTARD

Steps:

• Pierce the skin of the bratwurst with a fork.
• Grill sasuages for approximately 8 minutes until "just about" done.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter into a pot over medium heat until butter is soft. Add sausages and Dark Bock or Oktoberfest beer. Cover and let simmer over very low heat for 20 minutes to 1 hour. The beer flavor will be stronger the longer you keep in the pot. The bratwurst will finish cooking during this step.
• As the bratwursts are simmering, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter into a saucepan with onion. Cook until the onions are clear. Once the onions are clear, add the brown sugar and mix with the onions. Take off heat before the brown sugar is added.
• Serve with hot Düsseldorf mustard on a bun with a bottle of Dark Bock or Oktoberfest beer.

GRILLED BRATWURST WITH BEER, MUSTARD, AND SAUERKRAUT RECIPE

Steps:

• Light 1 chimney full of charcoal. When all charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange coals on one side of charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil grilling grate.
• Combine beer, mustard, and sauerkraut in a 10-inch square-disposable aluminum pan. (Alternatively, construct a tray out of a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil, 10 inches square, with sides about 2 inches high.) Stir until mustard is broken up and mixture is homogeneous. Add thyme sprigs or bay leaves (if using). Nestle sausages into sauerkraut.
• Place tray on hot side of grill and cook until simmering, about 4 minutes. Slide to cooler side of grill. Cover grill, with vents over bratwurst. Cook with all vents open until bratwurst register 140 to 145°F (60 to 63°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes, turning once in the middle.
• Remove lid. Using tongs, remove bratwurst from sauerkraut and place directly on cooking grate over hot side of grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until well browned and crisp, about 3 minutes total. Return to sauerkraut. Toast buns over hot side of grill, if desired. Serve bratwurst with buns, mustard, and sauerkraut from pan.

Cut a piece of heavy-duty foil and a piece of parchment to 12 × 18 inches. Place foil on a work surface; lay parchment on top. Toss the mushrooms, garlic, parsley, thyme, and oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Mound the mushroom mixture in the center of the parchment paper, allowing a 3-inch border all around.
• Hold the long sides of parchment and foil; bring together, and fold twice, creasing to seal firmly. Fold short ends twice, creasing to seal firmly.
• Grill packet until you hear mushrooms and liquid sizzling, 10 to 15 minutes. Flip packet, and grill until mushrooms are soft, about 15 minutes more. (Press lightly to test tenderness, or unfold center of packet to check, but be careful of steam escaping.) Remove packet; let stand 5 minutes before serving.
