Canola oil, for frying
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, minced
1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup apple cider
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 cup sour cream
1 shallot, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peels from 4 potatoes
4 bratwurst sausages
4 steak rolls, split on 1 side

Steps:

  • In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
  • Preheat a grill on medium-high.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter. Stir in the onions and cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the cabbage and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the cabbage with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper, to taste. Add the sugar, cider and stock. Cook until the cabbage is al dente, about 6 to 8 minutes
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, cayenne and chives. Season the cremolata with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add potato peels to the fryer and fry until crisp, about 3 minutes Remove to a paper towel lined platter and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Grill the bratwurst, turning frequently until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes
  • To assemble:
  • Open the rolls and spread with some of the sour cream cremolata. Add the sausage and some warm braised cabbage. Top each with some crispy potatoes and finish with a little more cremolata before serving.
