Instructions
Prepare the Grill and Onions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat. Toss the sliced onions with a little oil and a pinch of salt. Cook the onions in a small pan over medium heat for 15 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized, then set aside.
Grill the Bratwurst
Lightly oil the grill grates and place the bratwurst sausages on the grill. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes turning every 3 to 4 minutes to ensure even browning on all sides. The internal temperature should reach 71 degrees Celsius and the skin should be nicely charred.
Warm the Sauerkraut
While the sausages finish cooking, warm the drained sauerkraut in a small saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes. You can add a splash of beer or a pinch of caraway seeds to enhance the flavor if desired.
Assemble and Serve
Lightly toast the rolls on the grill for one minute. Place a grilled bratwurst in each roll and top generously with warm sauerkraut and caramelized onions. Spread or drizzle German mustard over the top and serve immediately.
