I made this last night using a 22 inch campers frying pan over my weber charcoal grill. We doubled the recipe and used his German potato salad recipe as well. All I can say is "BAM!!" Enjoy.

Cook the cabbage al dente and add a teaspoon of fennel seed just before serving.

I've never done bratwurst in beer...sounds like a good idea! I have, however, done a ton of cabbage. One thing on cabbage (in sauerkraut) I do it in the Polish style. The German style I cannot STAND!

[Chaguito]

Why??? Why do you do this. I just got out of the hospital with a moderate heart attack, and a new diet, now this. And the way you fixed it in a Weber’s grill. It’s cruel.

[gibsosa]

mmmmm.. thanks!

Oh yeah, Bay-am! is right!

Mine was a bit different - our old standby at company cook-outs now...

Boil the brats in water a coupla days before the cook-out. I boil for about 20 minutes, so that I know they’re done.

On cookout day, fire up the grill and put a big soup pot on it. Pour in three quarts of the cheapest beer you can find, 2 medium yellow onions (sliced), and two sticks of unsalted butter. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

Put the brats on the grill and brown them. As they finish, plop them in the sauce and let them simmer.

When they’re all done (I do 60 brats for the cook-out) kill the grill and take the brat pot in to the hungry diners. It don’t last no time at all.

It sounds quite good, but I’d have to sleep outside.

[smokingfrog]

This is low cal., right?

[azishot]

Yummy! When’s your next cook out? I’ll bring my own brats to throw in the pot!

Sure, just like this:

“I do it in the Polish style”

What is the Polish style ?

[texas booster]

And what is the Polish style of sauerkraut, verses the German style of sauerkraut?

[the lastbestlady]

You boil the sauerkraut in water first. Then you drain it and fry up some onions, mushrooms and butter. Put it all together and bake it.

[the lastbestlady]

I posted it at #16. If you like it sour...don’t do the Polish style.
If you like it tasty...do the Polish style!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Sounds good. I’ll have to try that.

[Mrs. P]

That looks like margarine on those potatoes. Are you trying to kill yourself? Use real butter, it’s real food.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Now we’re talking real food. If it doesn’t moo it’s over-cooked.
