Beer Glazed Grilled Bratwurst with Wilted Red Cabbage Slaw
- 2 pounds precooked bratwurst, pricked with a fork
- 6 cups German beer
- 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
- 2 large onions, sliced
- One 6-inch hand ginger, sliced into rough coins
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 8 soft hoagie rolls
- Put the bratwurst, beer, 1 cup water, the caraway, coriander, mustard seeds, onions and ginger in a medium stockpot.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
- Cover, remove from the heat, and let stand 15 minutes.
- Transfer the brats to a bowl.
- Strain the cooking liquid into another bowl, and discard the solids.
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, add the cabbage and toss to coat.
- Add 1 cup of the strained bratwurst liquid, and cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the honey, the vinegar and some salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat, and cook another 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl.
- Preheat the grill to high, with direct and indirect heat.
- Grill the sausages over direct heat until the casings are crisp and golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Move the brats to indirect heat, cover the grill, and cook another 5 minutes.
- While the brats cook, whisk the mustard, the remaining 2 tablespoons honey, some salt and pepper and a few tablespoons of the bratwurst liquid in a small bowl; the mixture should be syrupy.
- When the sausage are done, remove them to a platter and brush with the glaze.
- Split the hoagie rolls and grill cut-side down until toasted, about 30 seconds.
- Put a brat in each roll and top with some cabbage, then serve.
