Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
Rotkraut:
½ head red cabbage, shredded (about 6 cups)
1 small sweet onion, chopped (or ½ large onion, such as a visalia)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 tsp caraway seeds
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp water (+ more for taste)
Sweet + Spicy Mustard:
⅓ cup dijon mustard
1 tbsp horseradish cream
1 tbsp mayo
1 tbsp honey
2 lb Brats, cooked (I like to sear mine, broil and then bake in oven for about 20 minutes)
Instructions
In a large pan with a lid, place over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.
Next add your onions, and let cook until translucent, about 7 minutes.
Add your smashed garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Next add your red cabbage, salt, caraway seeds, apple cider vinegar and water.
Stir and bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer and cover for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
Once finished, remove from heat and keep covered until ready to serve.
Mustard:
In a small bowl add all ingredients and whisk together. Set aside.
Brats:
Take your cooked brats and serve generously with the rotkraut and drizzle with the sweet & spicy mustard. Eat immediately, and then eat more.
