Instructions

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

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.

Common mistakes
