Serves: 6

Preparation time: 5 mins

Cooking time: 25 mins

Ingredients needed to make Beer Bratwursts:

• 6 bratwurst sausages or any other link sausages
• 6 oz dark beer
• 2 tsp olive oil, divided
• 1 large sweet onion, sliced into ¼’’ wide rounds

Cooking instructions for Beer Bratwursts:

• Drizzle half of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven and heat it over moderate flame.
• Toss the bratwurst sausages into the oven and sauté for several minutes, stirring often, until they turn deep golden brown in colour.
• Drain them out into a plate and set aside.
• Pour in rest of the oil into the Dutch oven and throw in the onion rings.
• Toss them well until they are properly coated with the oil and continue to sauté for about 5-6 minutes, or until the onions soften and caramelize lightly; avoid burning or they will turn bitter.
• Return the sausages to the pan and pour in a splash of beer.
• Give them a nice stir to mix well and bring it to a simmer over moderate heat.
• Continue to cook likewise for the next 15 minutes, flipping the sausages over midway through, until the cooking liquid reduces into the thick syrupy consistency.
• Remove from heat and spoon them on buns.
• Serve right away.
