Bavarian Brats and Italian Sausage

[TEN-32]

I finally got the gazebo up and the deck furniture out and dusted off. Always a pain in the ass. Now its time for brats and beers. Here is how I like to do brats and other types of sausages on the grill. Sautee a sweet onion in half a stick of butter, add a can or 1.5 cans of beer. This will be the sauna for the sausages. Now grill your wurst, when done just move them to the beer sauna and you're good to go. I did cheat a bit and use the gasser but I was hungry LOL. You can hold them there for hours if you're feeding a group or have folks coming and going. They improve with time. Don't boil them just a low simmer. Lowest setting really. I like Stiegelmeier. They have an online store. Worth the money and often have deals. Lastly, God bless our fallen heroes this Memorial Day and always and never forget their sacrifice so that we can enjoy this way of life and God Bless America. We are under attack on all fronts internal and external. Never take this for granted.

No cooking today, Mama's at work. So is the eldest boy.

No, Ian (our 14 year old boy) and I are going to do the order some chit deal. Probably gyros and pizza. :)

I'm having a few Boulevard KC Pils, and a glass of OGD-114. Burning a Fuente too. :wootrock:

Try some Andoulle sausage sometime. Spicier but I like it. If you do, add some bell pepper to the beer bath...

I've had it. Love it for sure but never had it on a bun. Jambalaya.

Agreed, but the brand matters. Johnsonville's isn't very good.

[El Laton Caliente]

Aidell's and Chef Davids aren't bad for Anoulli, but not as good as the local brands in Lousiana. Those have been all I can find out here in Kali.

You're right, Johnsonville's sucks for Andoulli. I saw one brand I couldn't ID out here that was RAW sausage claiming to be Andoilli. Andoulli is always smoked; the good stuff the meat is smoked before the sausage is made and smoked again after it is in the casing.

There is always: http://www.cajungrocer.com/food/fresh-foods/sausage-andouille.html?limit=all

They are a little expensive though...

A better version of hot links on a bun. Do it up with sauted bell pepper and onion kinda like a Philli cheeze steak on a French bread bun.

Yeah sounds nice. I've seen Aidell's in the grocery store. I like to do Italian's as you describe with a splash of marinara and some mozz. I'll check this out.

[El Laton Caliente]

Don't forget the cajun mustard...

[El Jefe]

Out here in Fumbuc, all the grocery stores make brats of every variety. Some make Italian sausage too, but not links.

Good andoullie simply isn't available. Cajun food in general isn't that popular here.

Thanks. I want to get a ceiling fan in it. I had one but one of the blades lost a small chunk off the tip and it wobbled.

[El Jefe]

We were trying to decide on what to grill last night for supper and I remembered this thread and just went with the inspiration.

They was damn good too. :)

Lookin good. Now did you go with the andouille? I'm trying to source some locally but all I find is that packaged Aidell's. Also...cajun mustard. Might have to order online.

No, those were just brats. As I said I can't get good Cajun stuff down here in the holler. ;) We don't gots no bayou, yo.

When I picked up beer yesterday I saw they had the commemorative bottles so I bought a case. Just regular Coors Banquet Beer. When really cold this stuffs pretty drinkable. :santa2:

Gonna torch up a Fuente here in a minute.

They look great. If I find a good online source I'll message ya. As far as beer, I went quantity over quality for the weekend...and I agree, Coors isn't bad for what it is. :pissin-chipmunk: I have a buddy that prefers Old Style. Actually not too bad either.
