Recipe Title: Sheboygan Brats (fresh farm bratwurst) Contributed by: Dann_L
Note from the Diva
This is a recipe for fresh bratwurst made in the style frequently found in the German communities of the Midwest. My notes on this recipe indicate that I got this recipe from a book (did not record the title) by Bruce Aidells.
Note I make links about 6 inches long. Poached in beer and then grilled. Served on a roll with onions and mustard and washed down with a cold beer. When I don't make links I'll make patties. Grilled bratburgers! I just made myself hungry!
Of course brats are always great when paired with saurkraut.
