EASY KNACKWURST AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Put sauerkraut in a large saucepan (add a little liquid if necessary - water, white wine, broth or beer).
• Mix in caraway seed and brown sugar (if using).
• Put knackwurst on top.
• Cover and cook on low heat 30-35 minutes.

BAKED BEANS AND KNOCKWURST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in pan over medium heat, then add the bacon and cook to render the fat, but remove before crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the rendered bacon on paper towels or a kitchen towel to drain.
• Add the garlic and onions to the same pan and stir. Cook to soften, 4 to 5 minutes, then add the tomato sauce, stock, sugar, Worcestershire, mustard and vinegar. Season with black pepper and bring to a simmer. Add the beans and stir, then transfer to a casserole dish and arrange the bacon on top. Bake the beans for 2 hours.
• Preheat the griddle. Halve the knockwurst and butterfly the pieces by cutting across but not all the way through. You will end up with 12 split, halved dogs. Grill to crisp on both sides. Arrange the knockwurst in the casserole dish.
• Cool, cover and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat in a moderate oven. Garnish with scallions and sever with extra mustard.
• Soak the beans in water overnight. Rinse and pick through beans for stones or imperfect beans. Place in a pot and cover with fresh water, then add the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Season with salt, and cook beans at rapid simmer until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Drain and reserve.

BRAISED WURST SAUSAGES WITH CABBAGE, RED ONION, & APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Place the sausages in a skillet and add 1/2 inch of water and a drizzle of oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and allow the liquid to evaporate, cooking the sausages through. Once the liquid evaporates, the oil will help brown and crisp up the casings.
• Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, and sea salt in a small pot. Bring to a boil, stir, then reduce for 5 to 6 minutes over medium-low heat.
• While the brine reduces, combine the cabbage, red onions, and apples in a bowl. Sprinkle with caraway or cumin seed if you like the flavor.
• Pour the hot reduced brine through a strainer over the cabbage mix in a slow stream. Evenly distribute it, then pour about 1/4 cup of oil over the salad. Season with salt and pepper, toss to combine, and adjust the seasoning.
• Toast the bread. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the herbs. Spread the mixture on the warm toast.
• Serve the sausages with the toast, slaw salad, mustard, radishes, and pickles.
