I was out of bratwurst. This was an untenable situation! My buddy helped me make a video while I replenished my supply.





I started off by rinsing and soaking some hog casings the night before.










I cut up 3 pounds of pork shoulder (weighed after boning) and 2 pounds of chicken thighs (skin and fat left one and weighed after boning). I ground that through the medium plate on my KitchenAid.




















I measured out my seasonings, added them to the meat and mixed by hand for 4 minutes.





The seasonings for 5 pounds of meat are:




  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons coarse pepper
  • 2 teaspoons nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 2 teaspoons mace

















A fry test confirmed the spices were right.










I used my LEM to stuff the bratwurst.










I twisted them into 6 inch lengths.















I poached the Bratwurst in Negra Modelo beer with some onions added. Poached them for 10 minutes and strained out the onions.















I grilled the bratwurst for colour and fried the onions to caramelize them.




















Then we dove in.















This is one of my favourite sausages, I love it!





Here is the video if you are interested.

I just got 6 chickens at the local market for 10 bucks man. But after seeing disco's video I am on my way to the store for Brats. Damn if I don't love them. All I needed to tip over the edge. If I had some pork and casings at the moment I would be making some and some Boudin too.

Thanks, Justin! You should try bratwurst. They must be easy to make, I made them.

I hope you will pick up some beer to go with those brats!

I am fully stocked with PBR Disco. Is there any other way? I found out long ago from a good Wisconsin buddy that PBR and Brat's and Sweet, did I say sweet Walla Walla sweet onions go together Better than most other things on the planet. He took a carload of onions home last time he visited but left me with some great Bratwurst. Dang I wish he would visit more often. Johnsonville for me tonight.
 
POINTS for you Disco, nice looks no Brats!
Many thanks, Case. However, there aren't no brats, there is brats!

Sadly, we don't have Pabst up here but I do find Negro Modelo works well too!
