the method
Making the perfect bratwurst sausage requires more than just slapping some sausages on the grill – it’s an art. It starts with selecting the right ingredients and ends with making sure the sausage is cooked to perfection. Here’s how to do it:
- Choose your bratwurst sausages. You can buy ready-made bratwurst sausages or make your own. If you are making your own, you will need ground pork, fresh garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Prepare the bratwurst. If you are making your own, mix the ground pork with the other ingredients until everything is evenly incorporated. Then, roll the mixture into small balls and flatten them slightly. You can also use a sausage casing if you prefer.
- Preheat your grill. To get the best flavor, you’ll want to cook your bratwurst on a charcoal grill or over hot coals.
- Grill the bratwurst for about 15 minutes, flipping them every few minutes to ensure even cooking. Once the sausages are cooked through, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the bratwurst with a side of grilled vegetables or sauerkraut for the perfect meal. Enjoy!
