Calories: 499kcal
Ingredients
- 6 uncooked Polish sausages
FOR THE SWEET PICKLED CABBAGE
- 1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- salt to taste (I used about a teaspoon)
FOR SERVING
- Diced chiles – I used diced manzano pepper
- Spicy brown mustard
Instructions
- First, make the sweet pickled cabbage a day ahead by addig the vinegar, water, salt and sugar to a small pot. Bring to a quick bowl, then pour over the shredded cabbage. Cool slightly and store in an airtight container in the fridge overnight.
- The next day, heat one side of your grill to medium-high heat and the other to low for indirect cooking. Lightly oil the grates.
- Set the sausages on the cooler side of the grill and let cook about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are mostly cooked through.
- Set them onto the hot side of the grill and cook them another 4-5 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned. The internal temperature should be 150 degrees F.
- Serve the sausage on toasted buns and top with pickled cabbage, diced chilies and spicy brown mustard.
Notes
Heat Factor: Mild-Medium, though you can really spice things up with a spicy homemade mustard and extra spicy peppers.
Cooking time does not include refrigeration time for the pickled cabbage.
