Bratwurst Sausage Recipes
When I lived in St. Louis, my favorite event was Octoberfest. I ate my weight in Bratwurst Sausages and consumed buckets of beer. Good times. My favorite way to eat brats are grilled, but since winter made a last minute comeback, I needed a warm kitchen recipe.

Bratwurst Sausage and Pepper Tacos
This bratwurst recipe is so simple, it is going to be going on a regular rotation around the Sidewalk Shoes household. The first thing I did was do a quick pickle of the cabbage. Then bratwurst and peppers are roasted together. While the brats are roasting, you can whip up a quick sour cream sauce and heat up the tortillas. That's it! I served it with a simple salad of mangoes and avocados and it was one of our favorite dinners this week!
I found this Brat and Pepper Tacos at Food & Wine. I changed things up a bit to include my quick pickled cabbage recipe. I sliced my cabbage by hand, but I would have gotten more even slices if I had used my Benriner Mandoline. By the way, the next day I combined the leftover mango and avocado salad with the pickled cabbage and it made a wonderful light lunch. In case you are wondering about the leftover bratwurst and peppers, there weren't any!!

Tacos are so versatile and we are more inclined to mix up the fillings here in Australia as we don’t have a taco tradition. I’m quite surprised that Mexican food hasn’t been more popular here but it might be because we rarely experience authentic.
