Summer days are approaching and this means outdoor cooking, barbecue and grilling. I own a gas grill and for me this means, rain or shine, I am outside cooking my favorite foods with my cooking method of choice, outdoor grilling. Yesterday's evening meal is a yummy one. Bratwurst is a pork and beef sausage cooked in beer with sliced onions for a few minutes. The brat's are removed from the beer and placed on the searing hot grill until there are grill lines on them as well as being brownish in color on there outer skin. In a separate pot also on the grill burner, you mix the onions from the leftover stock when the sausages were simmered. Cook down the beer with the onions and about sixteen ounces of sauerkraut. After the liquid is reduced place the sausages back in withe sauerkraut and let rest for about fifteen minutes with pot covered. They are ready to be served with your favorite condiments (mustard, ketchup, hot sauce).
Do not forget to lightly toast the sausage buns that are to hold the bratwurst. Remember to have some of the beers, from the kind used for the sauce, on ice to accompany the meal.
