Celiac.com 10/20/2022 - With fall and football season upon us, the tailgate and the home viewing arena beckon. For those occasions, beer simmered bratwurst is a rite of passage. These bratwurst are simmered with onions in gluten-free beer for extra flavor, then finished up on the grill for a crispy, charred casing. Put them in gluten-free hot dog rolls and top them off with the tender onions, sauerkraut, and/or mustard. For a great side, serve them with German-style mustard potato salad. Ingredients 4 (12 ounce) cans gluten-free beer (and ale or dark beer works great) 1 large onion, thinly sliced 10 gluten-free bratwurst 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper Combine beer and onion slices in a large pot; bring to a boil. Add the gluten-free bratwurst, pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, heat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove bratwurst to a plate. Reduce heat to low and let onions simmer until needed. Cook bratwurst on a heated grill, turning occasionally to get char marks, until no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Serve bratwurst with onions, sauerkraut and stone ground mustard.
