Bratwurst And Sauerkraut Skillet Recipes

BRATWURST AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• If you plan to serve this dish as an entrée with boiled potatoes instead of as a sandwich, begin preparing the potatoes now.
• In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat and add bratwurst. Brown each side for two minutes turning a quarter turn each time so all four sides get browned. If they are curled, I found that stacking them against each other while cooking will keep them from flipping on their side. Once browned, remove to a platter and set aside.
• In the same pan, raise the heat to medium high and add onions. Cook for four minutes stirring with a wooden spoon.
• Add garlic, celery salt, caraway seeds and dry mustard. Stir and cook one minute.
• Add cabbage and cook for five minutes.
• Add drained sauerkraut, optional sugar, beer and browned bratwurst. Nestle the bratwurst into the mixture so they are totally covered. Bring to a boil, cover and lower to a simmer. Cook five minutes then remove cover and turn bratwurst. Raise heat to a medium simmer and with cover off cook 5-7 more minutes to cook off some of the liquid and to finish cooking the bratwurst. It is OK to still have some liquid in pan.
• Serve on rolls with spicy, yellow mustard or serve with boiled potatoes as a complete meal.
