Poaching bratwurst in a flavorful braise (in this case, beer and sauerkraut) before finishing on the grill ensures that the brats are cooked perfectly!
Ingredients
6bratwurst
1lbprepared sauerkraut
1can of beer
1tablespoonmustard
6buns
Additional toppings of choice: mustard, onions, etc.
Instructions
Place the sauerkraut, beer, and mustard in a skillet and stir to combine. Add the bratwurst into the mix and place over your fire or camp stove. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for about 20 minutes, until the brats register 140F.
Remove the brats from the sauerkraut, shaking off any extra liquid, and place on the grill for 2-3 minutes, turning every 30 seconds or so. The brats can be served immediately with toasted buns and desired condiments, or returned to the sauerkraut to keep warm until your group is ready to eat.
