Best Grilled Bratwurst And Beer Recipes

SMOKED CHEESE AND BEER FONDUE WITH BEER-SIMMERED BRATWURST, GRILLED BACON, MUSHROOMS AND RYE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for direct grilling. If using charcoal, arrange it so that you have areas of medium-high and low to medium-low heat.
• Combine the cheeses in a large bowl and toss with the cornstarch. Bring the brat cooking liquid to a simmer in a medium saucepan over the higher heat. Add the cheese, a few handfuls at a time, and stir in a figure eight motion with a wooden spoon until smooth. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard and hot sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. Transfer to a fondue pot and keep warm.
• Place a drip pan under the lower heat side of the grill and put the bacon on the grill. Cook until nicely charred on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter or cutting board.
• Toss the mushroom caps with some of the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mushroom caps to a grill basket and cook over the higher heat side, tossing occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Brush the rye bread on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the bread over the higher heat side until toasted and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter or cutting board.
• Cut the bacon, rye bread and Beer-Simmered Bratwurst into chunks. Serve alongside the fondue with the mushrooms and the mustards.
• Preheat the grill for direct grilling, high heat.
• Combine the beer, caraway, coriander, mustard seeds, onions, garlic and ginger in a large stockpot. Then, add the bratwurst. Place the pot on the grates of the grill and bring to a simmer. Simmer the sausages until half-cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the grill and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for 30 minutes. Transfer the brats to a platter or cutting board and strain the liquid into a bowl, discard the solids. Reserve the liquid for the fondue.
• Brush the sausages with canola oil and grill until the casings are crisp and golden brown and the sausages are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Keep warm until serving.

BEER-BOILED, GRILLED BRATWURST WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER PUREE AND PARMESAN CHEESE BOWLS WITH MIXED GREENS AND PAN-ROASTED HERBED LAYERED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, add beer and enough water or stock to cover the bratwurst, and bring to a boil. Add bratwurst, and boil for 5 to10 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the brats from the beer, pat dry, and brown on each side in a grill pan. Be careful not to pierce or cut the bratwurst, or you will lose all of its natural juices.
• Over an open flame, roast the pepper, until the skin is completely blackened. Using tongs, remove the pepper from the flame and put it in a covered bowl for 10 minutes to steam. Once the pepper has steamed, rub the charred skin from the pepper. Remove the seeds and the inner membrane, and then chop the pepper coarsely.
• In a blender, pulse the pepper with olive oil until the mixture is pureed and reaches your desired consistency. Season the puree with salt and pepper.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese into the pan. Allow the cheese to harden and slightly melt together. Remove from heat. As the Parmesan begins to cool slightly, loosen the edges with a spatula and drape the cheese over a cup so that it will harden into a bowl shape. Allow the Parmesan bowl to cool. Once the cheese has hardened, do not place anything hot in the bowls or they will melt.
• In a large bowl, mix together the vinegar, sugar and olive oil, then add the mixed greens and toss the salad mixture together. Serve the salad inside the individual Parmesan cups.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Wash and peel the potatoes, and then slice the potatoes into disks. Layer the potato slices in the pan. Combine herbs. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of butter over the potatoes, sprinkle salt and pepper and add 2 teaspoons of the fresh herbs on top of the first layer. Repeat the layering process, ending with drizzled butter on the top. Cover the potatoes and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes.
• Invert a plate over the skillet and turn the pan over to remove the potatoes from the pan. Garnish with the remaining herbs.

GRILLED BRATWURST AND BEER

Steps:

• Set up your grill for cooking indirectly over medium heat- for a gas grill just leave one burner unlit and for charcoal, move hot coals to the outside edges of the grill.
• Place a foil pan in the center of the cooking grate and pour the beer into the pan, then add onion and green pepper; place brats on grill alongside the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until they're lightly browned.
• Place brats into the pan with the beer and vegetables, cover grill and cook for 25 minutes.
• Serve on buns with mustard and chopped onions.
• Leftover brats can be re-grilled right on the grill for several minutes, until hot.
