Quick recipe ideas for bratwurst?
I need some quick recipe ideas for bratwurst-
I have rice, red and green bell peppers, onion, plenty of spices and several other ingredients on hand.
Any ideas?
Answers:
I'll be honest with you, the rice and stuff could probably make a very good side dish, but when you are cooking brats there is only one good way to have em
off the grill, with sauteed onions, ketchup, and spicy brown mustard.
If you have a spicier brat or perhaps a sausage you can make a pretty decent jambalaya out of what you got.
you can use this one, without the chicken:
2 lbs chicken breasts (cut into 2-inch pieces)
1/4 cup oil
1 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
1 1/2 cups long grain rice
4 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
In a large pot, cook chicken in oil over medium heat until brown, and cooked through.
Remove chicken from pot preserving remaining oil.
Add onions, bell pepper, parsley, and scallions to oil and saute until the onions are transparent (about 5-10 minutes).
Add sausage, rice, broth, garlic, chicken, salt, and pepper.
Continue cooking over medium heat until nearly all the water has absorbed into the rice.
(about 15-20 minutes).
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until rice is done.
Do not lift lid for at least 1 hour.
Remove from heat and servce.
I make brats with sauerkraut and pierogies...I parboil the brats with the pierogies (5min) and then I fry the brats/pierogies add drained sauerkraut.....top with sour cream.
I like them simmered with beer, chicken broth, garlic and onion. You could serve them over the rice.
