Beer-Simmered Bratwurst with Onions 3 large onions, peeled and thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, smashed 3 pounds precooked bratwurst, pricked with a fork 6 bottles dark beer 2 cups water 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1 teaspoon caraway seeds 1 teaspoon mustard seeds 1 (1-inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped Hot dog buns, brown bread, or hoagie buns Sweet and hot German mustard, optional, for garnish Spicy brown mustard, optional, for garnish Pickles, optional, for garnish Pickled beets, optional, for garnish Pickled eggs, optional, for garnish
Preheat the grill to high. Arrange the onion slices and garlic along the bottom of a medium stockpot. Place the bratwurst on top and then add the beer, water, coriander, caraway, mustard seeds, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over the grill grates or on a burner. Simmer the sausages in the mixture for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for 10 minutes. Remove the sausages with a pair of tongs onto a platter. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Grill the sausages until the casings are crisp and golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the bratwurst on the buns with the onions, mustard and sauerkraut, if desired. Garnish with pickles, pickled beets, and pickled eggs, if desired.
Good with Red Cabbage Sauerkraut.
