Grilled Bratwurst with Peppers and Onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, large, cut into 1/4-inch rings
1 yellow bell pepper, large, cut into 1/4-inch rings
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
8 uncooked bratwurst*

Dill pickles Mustard

Prepare grill.
In a bowl drizzle oil over pepper rings and onion slices, tossing to coat
well. Grill peppers and onions on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowingcoals
3 minutes on each side, or until tender. (Alternatively, peppers and onions
may be grilled in batches in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over
moderately-high heat.)
Transfer peppers and onions to a bowl.
Grill bratwurst, turning them, until golden and just cooked through (about
160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), 20 minutes.
Put a pair of brats, cut in half lengthwise and stacked on each roll. Top
with peppers, onions, pickles and mustard.
