This recipe is from Gail Ciampa of the Providence Journal. I've been making it for 2 years and its a family favorite. The taste sensation of biting through the cold horseradish sauce, the warm caramelized onions, the crisp garlicky brat and the toasted roll is pure heaven.

Bratwursts on Toasted Rolls with Caramelized Onions and Creamy Horseradish Sauce

3 tbs. unsalted butter

1 pound yellow onions, thinly sliced

½ teaspoon sugar

6 bratwursts

6 good quality hot dog buns, lightly toasted

Creamy Horseradish Sauce (recipe follows)

To caramelize onions, heat butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When melted and hot, add onion slices and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally, 10-15 minutes. Add sugar and cook until onions are deep golden brown, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes more. Remove onions from heat and set aside.

Creamy Horseradish Sauce

1 cup sour cream

¼ cup minced unpeeled Granny Smith or other tart apple

2 Tbs. prepared horseradish

1 tsp. caraway seeds

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

Grill brats (I prefer to slice them partially through). Place in toasted buns, spread with (mustard) onions and then horseradish sauce.

 
Oh, this looks sooo good. I'm a bit brat-challenged, do you use pre-cooked or raw? Both

are available here. What brand do you like, or do you buy them from a meat market?

 
I think my menu for the Superbowl just changed. These sound fantastic. Thanks for posting!

 
Cathy, I long to watch the game in your theater room. I think you Minnesotans are not pulling for

either the Bears or the Colts though. I would probably get kicked out.
