BBQ - BRATWURST

12 Bratwurst
3 cans of beer
1 1/2 cups water
2 large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon black pepper
condiments (ketchup, mustard etc.)
Buns


Prick each bratwurst in several places with the tines of a fork.  Put them in a large saucepan, and add the beer, water, onions, and pepper.  Cover, bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce it to simmer for about 30 minutes.


Prepare your fire for direct grilling over high heat.


Using tongs, remove the bratwurst from the beer.  Transfer the bratwurst to the grill and cook, turning, for about 8 minutes, until browned on all sides.


Drain the beer from the pot and discard it, but reserve the onions.


Serve the bratwurst with onions and condiments
Yum Yum!

BBQ - TOASTING BREAD ON THE GRILL

Select your bread such as artisan bread, flat breads, packaged pita bread, buns or floured tortillas; these are good choices.

Lightly brush your bread with butter or your favorite oil, whether its olive, vegetable, walnut or grape seed.

Brush only one side of the bread if you plan to grill only one side so that one side is crunchy and the other side remains soft

Place the bread over medium high heat and grill for 1 or 2 minutes on each side until the bread is lightly toasted.

Serve with simple toppings like sliced tomatoes, cheese, and basil or make your favorite sandwich.

You can also do whole loaves of bread!

Cut it length-wise, slather on your favorite butter, then wrap the loaf in aluminum foil.  Keep it a safe distance from the heat (indirect grilling).  You'll know when it's ready, the butter will melt all over the loaf.

This is some great stuff!
