This recipe is courtesy from my friend Dai from Colorado.
Grocery List
2 medium white onions
1 large bell pepper
1 small orange
1-2 packages Bratwurst (6-12 sausages)
2 bottles of hard cider (like a Redd's Apple Ale; 1 bottle per 6 bratwurst)
Red pepper flakes (1/2 Tbsp)
salted butter (1 Tbsp)
white table sugar (1 tsp)
Optional: hotdog buns (if you don't want the low-carb option)
Directions
Prep your vegetables by slivering the onions into matchsticks and cutting your pepper into small rectangles (approximately 1cm x 5cm). Use a fine grater to get your orange zest.
On medium heat, place the onions on the bottom, then the bratwurst. Pour the cider over top and garnish with the red pepper flakes. If your pan won't hold all the liquid, wait for some of it to cook off before adding the second bottle.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover for 8-12 minutes.
In a separate skillet (medium heat), add your butter, sugar, orange zest and peppers. Cook for 4-7 minutes until the peppers are crisp-tender.
Side Dishes
Of course, since we're eating greasy sausage soaked in beer/cider, I should recommend a salad or fruit to couple with this recipe. However, chips, a pickle spear and cole slaw will work just fine tonight.
