HOMEMADE BEER-SPRING ONION MUSTARD

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add safflower oil, and swirl to coat. Reduce heat to medium. Cook Vidalia onions, stirring often, until very soft, about 30 minutes.

Add pale ale, and cook, stirring often, until mixture is thick, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.

SAUSAGES WITH MASHED POTATOES, BEER AND ONION GRAVY AND MUSTARD

Steps:

• To make the beer and onion gravy, heat the oil and the butter in a large, heavy based saucepan.
• Add the onions and sugar and cook over a low heat for 45 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft and richly caramelised.
• Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in the beer, beef broth, star anise, cloves and bay leaves and boil vigorously until reduced to a rich, glossy sauce - about 20 minutes in a large sauté pan.
• Remove the star anise, bayleaves and cloves (if you can find them) from the gravy and season to taste with some salt and pepper.
• For the sausages and mashed potato, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20 minutes until soft.
• Then after about 10 minutes, heat the oil for the sausages in a large frying pan.
• Add the sausages and fry them over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning now and then, until nicely browned and cooked through.
• Drain the potatoes and mash until smooth - a potato ricer does this really well.
• Beat in the butter with some seasoning and enough milk to make a smooth, creamy mash.
• Spoon the mashed potatoes onto warmed plates and rest the sausages alongside.
• Pour over some of the gravy and serve with a good spoonful of English mustard.

BRATWURST AND ONIONS IN BEER

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill.
• Combine the onions, beer, vinegar, salt, mustard seeds, celery seed, bay leaf, and black pepper in a 4-quart saucepan, bring to a simmer, and simmer gently over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
• Add the bratwurst and simmer gently until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the bratwurst and set aside. Strain the poaching liquid reserving the onions. Let cool. Remove the bay leaf, add crushed red pepper, olive oil, and chopped fresh parsley. Set aside to use as a relish.
• Place the bratwurst on the grill and cook over medium-high until charred. Butter the rolls and toast on the grill just before serving.

BEER BRAISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pan. Add the onions and cook until tender.
• Add 6 fl oz beer, sugar and salt. Cook approx 16/18 minutes until the beer is absorbed and the onions are starting to brown.
• Add the remaining beer and simmer gently.
• Serve warm to accompany burgers.

SMOKY BEER BURGERS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
• Place the meat in a bowl and add the shredded cheese.
• Peel the onion and halve it.
• Grate about 3 to 4 tablespoons of onion directly over the meat into the bowl. Finely chop the remaining onion and reserve for topping.
• Add spices to meat: paprika, cumin and about 1 tablespoon of grill seasoning and/or some salt and pepper. Add garlic, parsley and Worcestershire and beer.
• Form 4 large patties making a large thumbprint indentation in the middle of each burger, because burgers plump when you cook them so this will prevent burger bulge.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour. Pull them out about 30 min before grilling. Drizzle a little olive oil over the burgers then grill about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5 minutes on each side for medium and 6 to 7 minutes on each side for well done.
• Mix mustard and sour cream with dill.
• Serve patties on bun bottoms and top with lettuce, pickles, chopped raw onion and anything else you like. Slather bun tops with sauce and serve.
