Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the Brats:
Step 2
Heat a oil large skillet with tall sides (you can also use a pot) over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onions are just tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Nestle the sausages into the onions and slowly pour the beer into the skillet. Cook, simmering, until the beer has completely evaporated and the sausages are cooked through, about 8 minutes, turning the sausages every 2 minutes throughout the cooking process. Transfer the sausages to a plate (you will be grilling them next) and remove the onions from the heat and cover to keep warm.
Step 4
Grill the Cabbage and the Beer Bratwursts:
Step 5
Place cabbage in a single layer across a platter or baking sheet. Brush both sides of the cabbage with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Heat a grill over medium high heat (about 400 - 450 degrees F). When hot, gently place the cabbage on the grill and cook, covered, until tender-- about 8 minutes total, turning halfway through.
Step 7
Meanwhile, you will also want to grill the bratwursts until golden brown on both sides, 2-3 minutes a side.
Step 8
One a large platter, plate the grilled cabbage and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Plate the sausage alongside the cabbage and a bowl of the sauteed onions. Sprinkle the chives all over (optional). Serve with lemon wedges, and a side of your favorite grainy mustard and dijon mustard. You can also serve with sauerkraut, too, if desired!
