Bratwurst are a German-style sausage typically made with pork or beef. Thanks to the German’s affinity for beer they are often simmered in beer to cook and then finished on a grill or in a skillet. We use the same method with Suvie replacing the sous vide bag with a can of beer to poach the bratwurst. Served with sauerkraut and roasted red potatoes.
