Ingredients

  • 4 COBS Gourmet Hot Dog Buns, toasted
  • 1 medium onion, sliced in ½ cm rings
  • ½ red bell pepper, seeded
  • ½ a green bell pepper, seeded
  • 3 tbsp of olive oil
  • 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar
  • 4 long Bratwurst sausages
  • 2 cans beer, pale ale preferred
  • 4 tbsp mustard
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Season peppers and onion with salt and pepper, and brush lightly with olive oil
  2. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place vegetables on grill and baste with the red wine vinegar every two minutes for approximately 8 minutes, once edges blacken.
  3. Remove from grill and let cool. Slice peppers to match onion width.
  4. Place sausages and grilled vegetables in tin foil. Make tin foil in to a pouch, and pour 1 can of beer in to it and secure it without any gaps.
  5. Grill for 15-20 minutes until sausages are cooked through.
  6. Once sausages are fully cooked, remove them from tin foil and place directly on grill until casing crisps up slightly.
  7. Place sausages, veggies and mustard on toasted Gourmet Hot Dog Bun. Enjoy!
