Recipe

Bratwurst

Pan-browned sausages with sauerkraut and mustard.

Ingredients

  • 6 bratwurst
  • 300 g sauerkraut
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Mustard
  • Bread or potatoes

How to make it

  1. Brown bratwurst slowly in a skillet. Use medium-high heat to get color, then lower to medium so the inside cooks through without burning. Turn only when the first side has a firm golden crust.
  2. Cook onion in butter until soft. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
  3. Warm sauerkraut with the onion. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
  4. Serve sausages with sauerkraut, mustard and bread. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.

Serving note

Keep the plate simple and let the main texture lead: crisp pastry, tender stew, glossy sauce or fresh garnish. This page is a compact cooking guide, not a long article.
