TORTILLA WRAPPED BRATWURST WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the milk, onion, bay leaf, cloves and nutmeg in a heavy-gauge, non-corrosive saucepan over medium heat. In a separate pan create a roux by cooking the butter and flour for a few minutes, stirring continuously, without browning, until it emits a nutty aroma. Remove from the heat. When the milk is fairly hot, pour a small amount of it into the cooled down roux, stirring until the milk is thoroughly blended. Return this to the remaining milk, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and season, to taste, with salt and white pepper. Whisk in mustard and cover with a piece of plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
• Heat the grill to medium heat. Prepare the tortillas by laying 1 or 2 slices of cheese on top of each and set aside briefly. Slowly cook the bratwurst over medium heat, turning as needed to prevent them from getting charred. (They tend to split when the heat is too high.) When they are browned and cooked through, which takes 10 to 15 minutes, transfer them to the cheese lined tortillas, and roll up the bratwursts so that the cheese will melt and hold everything together. Place the rolled bratwursts in a skillet over medium heat, allowing the tortillas to toast slightly. Serve with mustard sauce.

BRATS MY WAY --FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• In a large aluminum pan with deep sides, pour in 2 cans of beer, liquid smoke, 1 stick butter, garlic, jalapenos, and 1 white onion, choppped. Set aside.
• Grill brats over medium hot on all sides until browned. Remove from grill and add to the large beer bath.
• Meanwhile, steam one onion and 2 green peppers in 2 T butter. I use my microwave for this. If you like, you can saute them on the stove.
• Cover the aluminum pan with foil and place in a large warming oven on low, or in the regular oven on low heat until ready to serve. You want them in the beer bath at least an hour.
• When serving, allow guests to pile kaiser rolls with onions, green peppers, cole slaw, spicy mustard, pickles, whatever.
