Title: Venison Brats
Post by: squirtthecat on April 28, 2010, 07:19:43 AM

I swapped some pulled pork this week for 2 pounds of venison brats.

Any tips for cooking these so they don't dry out on me?   I do know there is a mix of pork in them to up the fat content..

Hot and fast?    Maybe some smoke?


TIA.

I like to do this.   

Beer Brats


Two teaspoons olive oil or butter, I prefer un salted butter, divided use.

One sweet onion, sliced into one-quarter inch rings

Six bratwurst sausages or your favorite sausage

Six ounces beer

Heat one teaspoon olive oil or butter in a large skillet. Brown sausages
until deep golden brown. Remove to a covered platter.

To the drippings, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil or butter and the
onion rings. Toss the onions to coat with the oil. Cook, stirring often, until onions are limp and golden but not brown.

Return the sausages to the onions and add the beer. Cook over medium heat until beer has cooked bown to a syrup, about fifteen minutes.

Sausages may be served on buns with the onions or as an  entrĂ©e.



Note: Dark beer gives a richer flavor, but any beer will work just fine.

         Feel free to use this method with your favorite sausage or hot dogs.

Use to do brats alot on the grill sorta like OU does his in the skillet.

Grill and then pierce the skin with a fork and toss in a tin of beer

and onions on the grill and let them get drunk before you eat them.

Grill the onions also.

Sounds good to me..

I do regular fresh made brats all the time.  Just wasn't sure if I had to be careful w/ the Bambi ones.
