Bratwurst Sliders From Swaggerty’s Farm with Apple Slaw
directions
Grilled Bratwurst
Preheat your grill. (Outdoor or indoor). Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add brats to par-cook before grilling. Boil for about 8 – 10 minutes. Remove from water, drain on towels, and cut brats lengthwise and then in half (for slider portions). Place brats on a heated grill and cook both sides until fully cooked and charred.
Light Apple Slaw
In a bowl, combine rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved. Julienne the apples and toss immediately in the vinegar mixture to prevent browning. Add red cabbage, green cabbage, and red onion. Toss gently but thoroughly until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate 30–60 minutes before serving. Stir gently before portioning.
Apple Moonshine Mustard
Lightly grind mustard seeds and combine with water. Let stand 30–60 minutes to soften. Add moonshine, vinegar, honey, flour, coriander, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until combined. Refrigerate at least 24 hours to mellow.
