Introduction:

Cabbage wrapped brats are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic bratwurst dish. These satisfying cabbage wraps provide a low-carb and gluten-free alternative to traditional buns, while still allowing you to savor the mouthwatering flavors of a perfectly cooked bratwurst. Follow this simple recipe to create your very own tasty cabbage wrapped brats.

Ingredients:

– 4 bratwurst sausages

– 4 large green cabbage leaves

– 1 tablespoon of olive oil

– 1/2 cup diced onions

– 1/2 cup diced bell pepper

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Optional toppings: mustard, pickles, sauerkraut

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill or griddle to medium heat.

2. Meanwhile, blanch the cabbage leaves by submerging them in boiling water for 30 seconds until they become tender and pliable. Drain the leaves and rinse them with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

3. In a small pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, onions, and bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the vegetables are softened – about 5 minutes – then set aside.

4. Place the bratwurst on the preheated grill or griddle. Cook for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and have a beautifully browned exterior.

5. To assemble your cabbage wrapped brats, lay out the blanched cabbage leaves on a clean work surface, concave side facing up. Place a cooked bratwurst at one end of each leaf before adding a spoonful of the cooked onions and bell peppers mixture on top.

6. Carefully wrap the cabbage leaf around the brat and vegetable filling by first folding the sides inward, and then rolling it like a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

7. Return the wrapped brats to the grill or griddle on low heat for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.

8. Serve your delicious cabbage wrapped brats with your favorite toppings, such as mustard, pickles, or sauerkraut.
