Bratwurst Ingredients

Method

Bratwurst Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients

    Start by finely chopping the onions and dicing the apple. Set them aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the sausages

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pork and veal sausages to the skillet and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Sauté onions and apples

    Once the sausages are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and diced apple. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the apples are tender.

  4. 4

    Season the mixture

    Add salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme to the onion and apple mixture. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.

  5. 5

    Deglaze with beer

    Pour the beer into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Combine and serve

    Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the onion and apple mixture. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve hot.
