Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bratwurst sausages
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey (for slaw)
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 2 cups Green cabbage (shredded)
- 1 cup Red cabbage (shredded)
- 1 medium Carrot (shredded)
- 2 stalks Scallions (sliced thinly)
- 4 pieces Hot dog buns
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and whisk in the honey. Set aside for glazing the bratwursts.
Place the bratwursts on the grill and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. In the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the bratwursts with the honey-butter mixture for a glossy glaze.
While the bratwursts are cooking, prepare the sweet and spicy slaw. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, Sriracha, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrot, and scallions to the bowl with the dressing. Toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables with the sweet and spicy mixture. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes, until lightly charred and warm.
Assemble the honey brats by placing each glazed bratwurst in a hot dog bun and topping with a generous portion of the sweet and spicy slaw.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Honey Brats with Sweet and Spicy Slaw!
