Beer Braised Brats & Onions

recipe

• Step 1
  Peel & thinly slice the onion.
• Step 2
  Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the bratwurst & brown for 3-4 min. Flip & brown on the second side for 2-3 min. Remove the bratwurst from the pan & set aside (the brats aren't fully cooked at this point!).
• Step 3
  Add the sliced onions to the pan. Season with salt & pepper. Add another drizzle of olive oil & stir. Cook for 12-15 min on medium heat until the onions are light brown & starting to caramelize.
• Step 4
  Add the beer & stir. Bring the beer to a boil, then nestle the bratwurst back in. Cover & cook for 12-15 min or until the bratwurst are fully cooked through.
• Step 5
  Remove the bratwurst & set aside. Continue to cook the onions & beer for another 3-5 min, or until the beer is more reduced.
• Step 6
  To serve, top the buns with the caramelized onions, bratwurst, sauerkraut & mustard (optional). Enjoy!
