Beer Glazed Brats and Sauerkraut

Beer Glazed Brats and Sauerkraut

I came up with this recipe for brats and sauerkraut because simply simmering sausages in beer and onions tasted weak. I was looking for a more intense beer flavor with a little bite, and this is it. It’s a very satisfying dish if you crave German flavor that’s Americanized. We love this dish served on potato rolls with spicy hot German mustard, Swiss cheese, and an ice-cold beer on the side.

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

Directions

Step 1
Crush celery seeds and caraway seeds with a mortar and pestle until ground.

Step 2
Mix beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, pepper, dill, and crushed seeds together in a bowl until brown sugar is dissolved.

Step 3
Place brats into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour beer mixture over top and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 4
Uncover and increase the heat to medium. Boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 20 minutes. Tilt the skillet to roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer brats to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 5
Add sauerkraut to the skillet and stir to combine with any leftover sauce; cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with warm brats.
