Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter, softened
4 pretzel buns
1 onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup beer
4 bratwursts
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup and 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
4 green onions, chopped
1 green apple, chopped into matchsticks
1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
Step by step
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the vinegar and lemon juice while streaming in 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add the mustard and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the dressing over the slaw.
Preheat the oven to broil. For the bratwursts, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a KitchenAid® Tri-Ply Copper 3.5-Quart Sauté with Lid over medium high heat. Brown the brats on each side. Remove the sausages and add the onions to the pan. Sauté the onions until they are soft and are slightly browned.
Pour the beer into the pan. This will deglaze the pan. Scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Put the sausages back into the pan. Boil for two minutes.
Turn down the heat to low and simmer covered for 5-7 minutes or until the brats are cooked through.
Cut open the pretzel buns. Smear butter and sea salt on top. Cover a KitchenAid® Professional-Grade Nonstick Sheet Pan with parchment paper and broil until browned.
