Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. Halve or quarter them to ensure even cooking, depending on their size.
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin rings. Core and slice the red and green bell peppers into strips. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bratwurst sausages and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown.
Add the sliced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and start to caramelize.
Sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.
Nestle the browned bratwurst sausages back into the skillet among the vegetables. Pour in the water, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet with a lid. Let everything simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the bratwursts are fully cooked.
Remove the lid and let the skillet cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow any excess liquid to evaporate.
Garnish the dish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
