Bratwurst mit Brötchen und Krautsalat
- Make the coleslaw first — it improves with 20+ min of rest. Finely shred white cabbage 350 g. Grate carrot 1. Toss both with white wine vinegar 30 ml, olive oil 15 ml, sugar 5 g, salt 2 g, black pepper, and caraway seeds 5 g. Taste and adjust — should be tangy and lightly sweet. Set aside.
- Heat a pan over medium. Add butter 5 g. Place bratwurst 500 g in the pan, cook undisturbed ⏲ 4–5 minutes until deeply browned on the underside. Turn, cook ⏲ 4–5 minutes more. Turn once more to colour any pale sides — ⏲ 15 minutes total. They should be cooked through with no pink inside. Don't pierce them.
- Warm Brötchen 5 in the oven at 200 °C for ⏲ 3–4 minutes while the bratwurst finishes.
- Serve bratwurst whole or split into a Brötchen, coleslaw on the side. Put mustard and ketchup on the table. For Cozy: split her bratwurst open and slice so it cools faster; coleslaw on the side as an optional dip.
