Nothing says summer like the smell of brats on the grill!
Servings: 4
Instructions
- Place the brats side by side in a saucepan. Fill with enough water to cover the brats by at least one inch.
- Add ½ cup of apple juice and 1 sliced onion. Don’t make the slices too thin or you will have trouble with them sticking to the brats when you remove them from the pot.
- Turn on the heat to medium. Once the water starts boiling, cover and reduce the heat. Simmer the brats for 10 to 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat an outdoor grill to medium (450F)
- When preheated, place the brats on the grill. Use large tongs to turn from time to time until well brown. About 10 minutes.
- Serve hot with brat buns, ketchup, mustard and relish. You can also serve with grilled onions. To grill onions, slice 3 onions into thick slices. Vidalia onions work well. Their high sugar content helps them caramelize better. Heat in a pan with a combination of butter and olive oil. Start with one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of olive oil. Add one more tablespoon of butter if needed. Season to taste.
