Brautwurst in Beer Sauce


I'm sorry, but I have no idea how to photograph a brautwurst - even a brautwurst in beer sauce on a homemade roll - so that it looks attractive. Brautwurst are just unfortunate-looking things.

Very tasty though. The beer sauce was almost incidental to how good this meal was. Much more integral were the goodness of the sausage itself, and the very sweet hoagie rolls I made using Better Home and Gardens' Red Plaid Cookbook. I just made their dinner roll recipe, and shaped them like hoagie rolls. Mmmmm! The sweetness of the rolls contrasting with the savouriness of the brautwurst was wonderful, and the beer sauce provided a nice, bitter foil.

We didn't give the sauce to the kids, because it was so bitter. You'll probably like it if you've got a taste for a nice, dark, stout, but otherwise, either alter the recipe to use broth instead of beer, or switch the stout out for a nice amber ale.

Great meal though. We had seconds. We would have had thirds, but there wasn't anymore. Oh so good. Yum. Meat and bread, who knew?

peace of Christ to you,
