I like to bring a pot of water to a boil (some suggest beer; I have yet to try this) turn off the gas and let simmer for 10 minutes. Then I put them on the griddle or outside gas grill and cook till well done. I top them with some spicy horseradish mustard (Pulaski’s is great) and some German sauerkraut with wine that is available at most German butchers.

I use beer instead of water, and I slice up a large yellow onion and put that in the beer with the bratwurst, bring it to a boil, then let it simmer for about ten minutes. Then I grill the brats, place them in toasted buns, top them with a hot horseradish and then add the beer-boiled onions.
