How To Make brewed brat sandwiches with caraway kraut

  • Step 1
    Make marinade: Combine beer, onion, mustard, caraway seeds and coriander in large saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add bratwursts; simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Leave brats in marinade.
  • Step 2
    Heat grill to high.
  • Step 3
    Make kraut: Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion and caraway seeds; cook until onion turns translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in mustard, sauerkraut and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low; cover, keep warm.
  • Step 4
    Make sandwiches: Drain brats; discard marinade. Halve brats lengthwise; cut halves in half crosswise.
  • Step 5
    Grill brat pieces uncovered until browned but still juicy, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Step 6
    Toast rolls, cut-side down, on edge of grill, about 30 seconds.
  • Step 7
    Assemble sandwiches: Spread both sides of toasted roll with mustard. On bottom roll, add slice of cheese, 6 brat pieces and large dollop kraut; sprinkle dill pickle on top. Close with top roll; push roll down to mingle juices and ingredients.
