Morphology

bratwurst + with + kraut

The phrase combines 'bratwurst' (a type of sausage) with the preposition 'with' (accompanied by) and 'kraut' (fermented cabbage), so its meaning is directly compositional: a bratwurst served alongside sauerkraut. This food + with + accompaniment pattern is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily understand it.

Etymology

Bratwurst with kraut names the food: bratwurst is a grilled sausage and kraut means 'pickled cabbage'. So the phrase simply refers to that dish served together.
