Ingredients
- 4 raw bratwursts
- 12 ounces beer
- 1 large Vidalia onion sliced into 1/4″ thick rounds
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil EVOO
- 4 crusty hot dog rolls or French baguette cut into hot dog sized portions
Toppings:
- brown mustard
- sauerkraut
- Beer cheese recipe below
Instructions
- Poke the bratwurst with a fork to just break the casings a bit.
- In a deep skillet, place half of the onion slices, bratwurst, caraway seeds, and the beer. Bring the beer to a boil and turn the heat down to a rolling simmer. Simmer the brats for 15 minutes.
- Turn the heat off the braised brats and allow them to sit in the braising liquid while you move on to step 2.
- Preheat your George Foreman Grill to high. Brush 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on the grill plates.
- Grill the remaining onion slices until just charred with grill marks on both sides. Set the onions aside to serve as a topping.
- Remove the bratwurst from the liquid to paper towels to dry off. Discard the braising liquid.
- Coat the grill plates, or the bratwurst, with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place the brats on the grill, close the top, and grill for approximately 6 minutes rotating every 2 minutes for even browning. Remove the brats to a plate.
- Open the rolls or slice open the bread pieces. Place these on the grill and toast lightly in the bratwurst drippings. You may have to do this in 2 batches.
- Serve the bratwurst inside the rolls with your desired toppings.
