Bratwurst in Bier mit Zwiebeln

Zutaten

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 yellow onions (, sliced)
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 bratwurst sausages
• 1 12-ounce bottle amber ale or nut brown ale
• 6 buns

Zubereitung

1. 1

   In a cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and caraway seeds and cook for 5 minutes or until the onions begin to soften. Season with kosher salt. Nestle the bratwursts in the onions, add the bottle of ale and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30-40 minutes, turning the brats occasionally.

2. 2

   To finish the bratwursts on the stove, transfer the onions and beer broth to a bowl and set aside. Add the brats back to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Brown the sausages evenly on all sides, adding a little more butter or oil if needed. Add the onions and beer broth back to the skillet and keep warm.

3. 3

   To finish the bratwursts on the grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the bratwurst sausages on the grill for 2-4 minutes per side or until browned on all sides. Add back to the skillet with the onions and beer and keep warm.

4. 4

   Serve on warm buns with onions and coarse, grainy mustard. Add sauerkraut if desired.
