How to Make Brewed Brat Sandwiches With Caraway Kraut
- **Prepare the Bratwurst Marinade:**
- In a large saucepan, combine 12 oz beer (any type you enjoy), 1/2 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced), 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp caraway seeds, and 1 tsp coriander seeds.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add 1 lb bratwurst sausages to the saucepan.
- Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, or until heated through.
- Remove from heat and let the brats rest in the marinade while you prepare the kraut.
- **Prepare the Caraway Kraut:**
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1/4 medium yellow onion (finely chopped) and 1/2 tsp caraway seeds.
- Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 (16 oz) jar sauerkraut, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and keep warm.
- **Assemble the Sandwiches:**
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Remove the brats from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Halve the brats lengthwise, then cut each half in half crosswise.
- Grill the brat pieces for about 2 minutes per side, or until browned and juicy.
- Toast the sandwich rolls, cut-side down, on the edge of the grill for about 30 seconds.
- Spread Dijon mustard on both sides of each toasted roll.
- Layer a slice of your favorite cheese (e.g., cheddar, Swiss) on the bottom roll, followed by 6 pieces of grilled bratwurst and a generous dollop of caraway kraut.
- Top with a few dill pickle slices.
- Close with the top roll, and gently press down to combine the flavors and juices.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
