Fall means it’s time to grab the sweaters, boots, and scarves out of the closet while preparing some great fall recipes for all to enjoy. Fall is celebrated in many ways including the popular German fall festival, Octoberfest filled with many traditions including delicious sausage! YouBite LLC, a family owned business, offers authentic German style meat products and sausages that can tie into celebrations or simply a scrumptious meal. Products are handcrafted in Camarillo and are made just like they were back in the old days. Tasty pairings with sausage include Sauerkraut, which can be purchased from Wild at Heart, an Ojai based vendor that can abe found at the Farmers’ Markets. Other great accompaniments that go well with sausage include potatoes, sauteed peppers or a French baguette roll. YouBite also suggests trying a creamy cauliflower side dish that makes for a great pairing with sausage:
YOUBITE's German Brats with Cauliflower
Take the cauliflower florets apart, wash and cook in salty water
Peel, wash and cut potatoes and cook in salty water
Heat up pan and use oil or butter to start frying the sausages on low temperature
When the cauliflower is done set aside the excess water for your sauce
Place butter in pot and let it melt. Then slowly start adding the flour and mix everything thoroughly
When the butter and the flour have bonded, add 1 cup of the excess water from the cauliflower. You can also add a bit of milk, cream, or stock on top for a more intense taste.
Bring everything to a boil. Add some capers, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to your liking.
By now the potatoes and the brats should be ready to be served. Enjoy!
