Instead of boiling bratwurst directly in the beer, try steaming them over the beer instead for a better texture. In this recipe, they are served with some dressed up sauerkraut on the side.

ingredients

2 bottles (12 ounce size) German beer
6 bratwurst sausages
3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 can (32 ounce size) sauerkraut, well drained
1 1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds

directions

Place the beer in the bottom of a saucepan with a steamer insert. Bring the beer to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the brats to the steamer insert and let steam, covered, for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft. Add the sauerkraut and fennel seeds. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the sauerkraut is heated through.

Serve the steamed bratwurst on buns or bread with the seasoned sauerkraut and any desired condiments such as spicy mustard.

  1. Smokington REVIEW:

    Steaming meat over beer with freshly chopped garlic and onions is some next level sh*t.
