Beer-Glazed Brats with Sauerkraut
Ingredients
  • 1/8 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1 pound fresh bratwurst sausages
  • 1 pound sauerkraut (preferably barrel-aged), drained
Instructions
1
Grind the celery seeds and caraway seeds into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle.
2
Combine beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, pepper, dill, and the ground seeds in a bowl until the brown sugar is fully incorporated.
3
Place sausages into a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour the beer mixture over the top and bring to a rolling boil. Lower the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
4
Lift the lid and increase the heat to medium. Allow the sauce to thicken into a rich, syrupy consistency, approximately 20 minutes. Rotate the sausages in the sauce to ensure they are evenly coated. Transfer the sausages to a plate and cover to keep warm.
5
Add sauerkraut to the pan and stir to combine with any remaining sauce; cook for 5-8 minutes. Transfer the sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with warm sausages.
