Restated from the original video
- 1
Take the bratwurst out of the fridge about 30 min before cooking.
- 2
Set up the grill for two zones: one side at medium heat, about 180 °C (350 °F), the other side unlit. Oil the grates.
- 3
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until soft and golden brown, 15-20 min. Keep warm.
- 4
Lay the bratwurst on the unlit side, close the lid and cook, turning a few times, until they feel firm, about 15 min.
- 5
Move them over the direct heat and grill, turning often, until the skins are browned and crisp, 4-5 min. Do not pierce them.
- 6
Check that the bratwurst are cooked through: a thermometer in the center should read 71 °C (160 °F).
- 7
Split the rolls and warm them cut side down on the grill for 30 seconds.
- 8
Tuck a bratwurst into each roll, spoon over the onions and serve with mustard.
