bratwurst A highlight of summer is firing up the grill and applying meat to fire. A unique flavor develops when meat is cooked over open flames, a flavor that cannot be replicated. I love the smell, and the sizzle is the theme song of summer. If there is one thing I love to throw on the grill for a quick and easy dinner, it’s bratwurst.
Banh mi is Vietnamese for bread or more specifically French baguette, but it’s also used to reference a Vietnamese sandwich made with a baguette. A typical Banh mi sandwich is a baguette, pork, cilantro, cucumber, pickled carrots, and jalapeño. Pork is the main ingredient of a Banh Mi sandwich so; a quality pork bratwurst would naturally make a killer Banh mi.
The first time I ever tried a Banh mi sandwich was while I was living in Tulsa. Right, before I moved away a Banh mi sandwich food truck became very popular. On a warm Wednesday afternoon down by the Guthrie Green, I sat on a bench and fell in love with my first Banh mi.
Banh mi brats are the perfect summer bratwurst. The brats are infused with a sweet citrusy brine, grilled and topped with fresh, crisp cucumbers, cilantro, spicy jalapeño and bright pickled carrots. The brats are light in flavor but still incredibly satisfying.
If you are looking for an easy way to make bratwurst a little interesting this is a recipe you are going to love. Normally, you don’t think of light fresh crisp flavor when you hear the word bratwurst but that is exactly how I would describe Bahn mi bratwursts.

Love bratwursts on the grill with spicy mustard. Also love, love Johnsonville Italian Sausage in my spaghetti sauce.
Wow! Look at all these people on here, how come there aren’t this many comments on your FB posts?! Of course, I rarely ever have a chance to throw pork onto the grill, but sausages are a great idea. I’ll think of you next time I’m grilling at my mom’s, because it’ll be sausages. Hell, it might even be these bahn mi brats!
Thanks for all the help, chica!
