Questions about Pork bratwurst
How do you cook pork bratwurst in a frying pan?
Add a little oil and cook over medium-low heat for about 12–15 minutes, turning often so the skins brown without splitting. Check the thickest part reaches 70°C for 2 minutes, or 75°C briefly.
Can you cook pork bratwurst on a barbecue?
Yes. Cook it over indirect or medium heat, turning regularly, then move it over the hotter part briefly to brown; a fierce flame can char the casing before the centre is cooked. Make sure the centre reaches 70°C for 2 minutes.
Should you prick pork bratwurst before cooking?
No: pricking lets the juices and fat escape, making the sausage drier. Cook it gently and turn it often to help the casing stay intact.
What goes well with pork bratwurst?
Serve it with sauerkraut, mustard and a crusty roll, or pair it with potato salad, mash or braised red cabbage. It is also the classic sausage for a currywurst-style dish with spiced tomato sauce and curry powder.
What is pork bratwurst made from?
It is a German-style sausage made mainly from pork, usually seasoned with spices such as pepper, marjoram or nutmeg. Recipes differ, but bratwurst is generally sold fresh and needs cooking.
