Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1.5 cups sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add the bratwurst sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausages and set them aside.
Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic in the skillet and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Return the browned bratwurst sausages to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the sausages simmer gently in the sauce for 10 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the bratwurst and sour cream sauce warm alongside mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread.
