How to Make Beer Bathed Brats With Sauerkraut And Apples
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- In a heavy-duty foil pan, arrange the bratwurst in a single layer.
- Thinly slice the onion and apple.
- Scatter the sliced onions, apples, and drained sauerkraut evenly over the bratwurst in the pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, mustard, and caraway seeds (if using).
- Pour the beer mixture over the bratwurst and vegetables in the pan.
- Place the foil pan on the indirect heat section of your grill. (If using a campfire, arrange coals to create indirect heat.)
- Grill for 20 minutes, turning the bratwurst occasionally, until they are nearly cooked through.
- Remove the bratwurst from the pan; set aside. Leave the pan on the grill to continue cooking the sauerkraut mixture.
- Grill the bratwurst over direct medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned.
- Serve the bratwurst immediately in hot dog buns, topped with the warm sauerkraut and apple mixture.
- Add extra mustard, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
