This recipe comes to us from a rabid Brat-loving Green Bay Packer
fan and can be used on any outdoor grill--charcoal, gas or wood.
Ingredients:
1 pack Tofurky Beer Brats (or Favorite Tofurky Sausage)
1 medium sweet onion [1/2" dice]
1 small red bell pepper [1/2" dice]
2 tbls. Olive oil [or no-stick spray]
2 sprig fresh dill [optional]
1 tbls. Favorite beer
Salt & Pepper [to taste]
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
1) Take a generous section of heavy-duty aluminum foil (say from an
18" roll, use an 18"x24" piece) and lightly oil the center with
olive oil (or spray).
2) Place the bratwurst on the oiled foil, and add the onions and
peppers, making sure to get a few of each in between each sausage.
3) Add salt & pepper, (plus dill or any other herb you'd like) over your
sausages, then drizzle the remainder of the oil over the top of
the foil contents (or spray all ingredients with no-stick well) and add the optional
splash of beer.
4) Wrap contents in remainder of foil. Take packet and wrap in
additional foil (I find two more like-sized pieces of foil wrapped
in different directions from the preceding foil to work best) until
you have a nice firm packet.
5) Place on grill close to--but off of--direct heat for 30-40 min, flipping every
10 min.
6) Remove from heat and let stand for five-or-so minutes. Open, and
serve on fresh, butter-basted and grilled rolls.
"This technique is great for times when you're going to a grill-out
at friends and they have no idea how to grill a neo-meat sausage
Just make your packet up at home, and hand it to them, saying "Stick
it in a warmish spot off flame on your grill, and flip it every ten
minutes until I come get it." How simple is that? This technique
saves a lot of vegetarians from eating burned brats. This technique
is also great for when the sausages are frozen as well. Enjoy and Go
Packers!"
