BRATWURST HOT DOGS RECIPES

Steps:

• To make sauerkraut, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add caraway seeds and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add onion and cabbage, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until cabbage starts to wilt. Add 2 tbsp vinegar and cook for a further 4 minutes, then cool for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium. Cook sausages, turning regularly, for 12 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
• Combine remaining 2 tbsp vinegar with remaining 1 tbsp oil. Stir into cabbage mixture, along with parsley, then season with salt and pepper. Serve bratwurst in a roll, with sauerkraut and mustard.

Steps:

• Place ground beef, ground pork, salt, paprika, black pepper, granulated onion, granulated garlic, smoked paprika, and ice water in a bowl. Mix together with fingers until well blended and mixture is dense and solid, about 4 minutes. It's okay to overmix. Wrap dough in plastic; refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Have a bowl of ice water nearby to keep your hands wet and cold. Place 1/4 of the mixture on the plastic wrap. Roughly shape meat into a thick roll and wrap with the plastic. Shape into a thinner roll about as long as a hot dog bun. You can unroll the plastic and "fine tune" the sausage shape after wetting your hands in ice water. Rewrap in plastic and place on a dish; repeat for the remaining sausages. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Carefully place sausages on grill and let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes to seal the bottom edge. Gently turn completely over to brown the opposite side; cook until brown, about 2 minutes. Brown all surfaces, turning carefully to avoid breaking the sausages, about 5 minutes more. Remove sausages from grill and serve on toasted hot dog buns.
