Beer & Brats

Step

Using a Green Egg or charcoal grill, grill the brats and kielbasa until nicely charred. For extra smoky flavor add hickory wood chips on top of the coals.

Step

Slice the onions and peppers and add them to a large foil pan. Once the brats and kielbasa are charred, add them on top of the onions and peppers.

Step

Pour the beer over everything (and make sure to crack one open for yourself to enjoy responsibly while cooking!). Add Old Bay and red pepper flakes to the pan. Cover the pan with foil.

Step

Over medium heat, simmer the brats and kielbasa for 15–20 minutes covered.

Rosemary Flat Bread

Step

Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, garlic and yeast. Add the water to dissolve the yeast.

Step

Add the flour and salt. Mix and knead by hand until you have a smooth ball of dough, about 6-8 minutes.

Step

Spread the cornmeal on a flat surface. Place the dough on the cornmeal and cover with a warm, damp kitchen towel.

Step

Allow the dough to rise for about 45 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Step

With a rolling pin, roll out and flatten the dough. Cut it into 12 equal pieces.

Step

Flatten each piece with your fingers, pounding it out very thin into a rectangular or oval shape.

Step

Brush each piece of flatbread with remaining olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Step

Place the rosemary flatbread on the Big Green Egg or charcoal grill and grill for about 30 seconds per side, or until nicely charred on both sides.

Step

Serve with the beer and brat and enjoy.
