Cabbage Wrapped Brats

Ingredients

1 tbsp.olive oil
1medium onion, sliced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4bratwursts
1(12-oz.) can beer
8large cabbage leaves
Dijon mustard, for serving
1 c.sauerkraut
Directions
- 1. Step 1In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until slightly tender, 4 minutes. Push onions to edges of skillet and add brats to center of skillet. Sear brats until golden, 2 minutes per side. Add beer and simmer on medium-low until all the liquid has evaporated, 10 to 14 minutes.
  2. Step 2Meanwhile, blanch cabbage: In a large pot of boiling water, use tongs to dip cabbage leaves in water for 30 seconds. Place on a paper towel–lined plate to dry. When cool enough to handle, cut a “V” at the base of the leaf to remove the toughest part of the stem.
  3. Step 3Build wraps: Overlap 2 cabbage leaves, cut sides in, to create one large oval. Spread mustard in the center of cabbage leaves, then top with caramelized onions, sauerkraut, and brats. Fold the short ends of the cabbage leaves in, then tightly roll from one long end to the other.
