300 g Sauerkraut(Pre-packaged or homemade. Can be served cold or heated.)
for serving German mustard(A coarse-grain or Dijon-style mustard is traditional. Avoid sweet mustard for this classic preparation.)

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the Bratwurst: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 200-230°C / 400-450°F). If pan-frying, heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the optional oil or butter if pan-frying.
⏱️ 5 minutes
2
Cook the Bratwurst: Place the bratwurst sausages on the hot grill grates or in the hot skillet. Do not pierce the sausages, as this will release their flavorful juices. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes
3
Turn frequently for even browning: Using tongs, turn the sausages every few minutes to ensure they brown evenly on all sides. You are looking for a deep golden-brown color and the sausages should feel firm to the touch.

4
Heat the Sauerkraut (Optional): While the sausages are cooking, gently warm the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over low heat, or microwave it according to package directions. Stir occasionally until heated through. If you prefer cold sauerkraut, skip this step.
⏱️ 5 minutes
5
Assemble and Serve: Once the bratwurst are cooked and nicely browned, remove them from the heat. Slice the bread rolls horizontally, but not all the way through, creating a hinge. Place one cooked bratwurst in each roll. Top generously with warm (or cold) sauerkraut and a dollop of German mustard.
