Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 2 cups lager or pale beer
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the beer, then add the bratwurst sausages to the skillet, ensuring they're submerged in the liquid. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, turning the bratwursts halfway through cooking.
While the bratwursts are simmering, mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Brush the inside of each bun with the garlic butter and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the bratwursts from the skillet and transfer them to the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until they develop a nice char.
Toast the garlic buttered buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, just until golden and crisp.
Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard onto the inside of each bun.
Place a grilled bratwurst into each bun and top with the beer-simmered onions.
Season with a sprinkle of salt, black pepper, and a garnish of chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
