Ingredients
- 1/2 head green cabbage, cored and very thinly sliced
- 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound bratwursts (not precooked)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped dill, optional
- Assorted mustards for serving, such as whole grain, Dijon, honey mustard and brown
Instructions
- Preheat a grill for direct and indirect cooking.
- Toss the cabbage with the shallots, vinegar, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Stir well and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the brats on the indirect heat portion of the grill and grill, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 15 to 18 minutes. Move the brats over to the direct side of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- While the brats finish grilling, melt the butter in a large skillet placed directly on the grill. Add the caraway seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sauerkraut and stir until well coated. Stir in the dill if using.
- Serve the bratwursts with the sauerkraut and assorted mustards on the side.

Surprisingly good!!
The quick sauerkraut was Excellent! And tasted so fresh and crisp.
This is Amazing, I plan on adding a few things and experimenting but I really had not thought about using my microwave, SO Excited to add a little caraway maybe a hot pepper and some garlic, not sure yet how it will turn out maybe a combo of the microwave and stove top. But once again THANKYOU! !!
Easy peasy quick version!
( note to Beverly, add vinegar after shallots in Valerie’s recipe)

Thanks to you Valerie! I enjoy Top Chef but really find your TV show tops!!
With you I am increasing my in-kitchen comfort and love of fresh ingredients, de-constructing simple, delicious yet elegant new dishes … I also really love your desire to get out of the kitchen to savor the day outside with friends and family!
When to add the apple cider vinegar is missing from the directions…
