How do you cook your Bratwursts?!
I usually add green and red peppers, onions and garlic while it's boiling down.
(oddly, the gunk in the pan after cooking is quite good for dipping bread.
How do you cook yours? Has anyone cooked them in wine or anything else.
Thanks and happy grilling.
Answers: i usually buy uncooked ones, (non pre-cooked that is) and boil them for a while in beer until their fully cooked and them toss them on the grill.

Wow-nothing as adventurous as your ideas-Sausage is the only meat I can't stand but I keep buying it.
(And ironically enuf, tonight I'm online looking for recipes for sausage that I just bought last night)
The normal thing I do is just throw them on the BBQ and a bun and call it done. In the winter, I do a sausage with pasta bake. I marinade the sausage in bbq sauce, and throw it in with pasta and tomato sauce and more bbq sauce so it's a spicier meal. I throw in veggies that I have on hand as well.
Tonight I'm looking to do Jambalaya and see how I do with it. I'm thinking I should just stick to the ribs and steaks but you gotta go with what meats on special sometimes bleah :-)
I won't tell you how I used to cook mine, but I'm going to cook them your way from now on - it sounds great.
Brats & Beer...a match made in heaven! Boil 'em, grill 'em, eat 'em. I like just onions and spicy brown mustard ( sometimes, sourkraut) on them in a roll!
All we do is grill them..
If we pan fry them, we do it with sliced onions and butter. And you are right, all the gooey stuff left over is awesome!!
Im sure that wine would also be great, never tried it though!
well what i do is let them soak in beer for a few hours. i usually then cook them on the grill, i prefer to use a charcoal grill but if i don't have the time i will use my gas grill. along with them i like to have onions and peppers also cooked on the grill.
Brown them off on the grill first.
Then Simmer in MILLER beer, a stick of butter and an onion. You can also dump in a can of kruat as well.
Otherwise simmer in beer for 15 minutes or so and grill.
The longer they soak in the beer the better.
I think I know whats for dinner tonight. Oh wait 1 to 4 inches of snow coming our way. Never mind.
We do exactly as you, and that is my favorite way. Sometimes the store is out of the uncooked brats. In which case, we just throw the pre-cooked brats on the grill and eat them with mustard.
We've never tried anything creative, although my guess is, white wine wouldn't be bad for the pre-boil instead of wine.
I actually soak mine in the fridge overnight in beer and then boil them the next day and then finish them off on the charcoal grill just to get the smokiness and char marks. We've also soaked them in unpasteurized apple cider and cooked in the same way and that's really good too. I'll have to try dipping the bread in the ****, never thought of that. Yummy- delicious fat! :)
I just fry them.
I use Coca Cola for alot of marinades. I tried last summer to boil the brats in coca cola and when I grilled them it made a kind of sweet glaze. Very good with sweet peppers and a dijon mustard. Use your imagination and try whatever you like. You might be surprised at the outcome.
I like the white brats, you know the veal ones, I do the same as you except I don't add peppers, just onion and garlic, the drippings will make a nice gravy if you add a little bouillon water and a flour/water thickening mixture. it's really good accompanied by a good hot German potato salad (served warm from the pan) yum yum
I just boil them first and then fry them in a frying pan and they usually turn out pretty good .
