Bobby Flay's Beer-Simmered Bratwurst

By lorik

Ingredients

• 6 cups German light ale (about four 12-ounce beers)
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• 3 large onions, unpeeled, roughly chopped
• 2 whole cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
• 3 pounds precooked bratwurst, pricked with a fork (about 15 links)
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a grill to high. Combine the beer, caraway seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, onions, garlic and ginger in a large stockpot. Add the bratwurst. Place the pot on the grates of the grill and bring to a simmer. Simmer the sausages, about 5 minutes.

Remove the pot from the grill and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for about 30 minutes. Transfer the brats to a platter or cutting board.

Brush the bratwurst with the canola oil and grill until the casings are crisp and golden brown and the brats are warmed through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Keep warm until serving.
