white bratwurst

variuos dates

Bratwurst is in the US of A most often—at least here in the NM desert—the label for a pre-cooked white sausage that is very finely ground and contains white meat (veal, pork, chicken,) bread a.o. fillers and of course a whole boat load of chemicals. Pink sausages are more often labeled with the shorter 'brats' in this area.

If unblended rice is used instead of bread and hot spices added, we are getting close to the Cajun boudin.

a. bratwurst with grapes, sugar snap peas and goat cheese

2014-05-17

Sausage, snap and/or sugar peas, grapes and goat cheese come together in an unexpected but very pleasant combination. The grapes provide a refreshing contrast to the otherwise earthy flavors of this dish. I used a fairly mild goat cheese. If you like goat cheese, a stronger one may be appropriate.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

  • 2 bratwurst links
    OR your favorite sausage
  • 1 lb sugar snap peas
  •  ½ lb black seedless grapes
  • a few tbsp of goat cheese
  • olive oil
  • S&P

optional:

  • 1 tbsp flour, dissolved in cold water or oil to thicken the sauce
