Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bratwurst sausages
- 12 oz Keto-friendly beer
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter until it sizzles.
Add the bratwurst sausages to the skillet, browning each side for about 2-3 minutes. Remove the sausages and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Pour the keto-friendly beer into the skillet, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze and incorporate all the browned bits.
Return the bratwurst sausages to the skillet and add bay leaves, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low.
Let it braise for 30 minutes, occasionally turning the sausages to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
Remove the bay leaves, adjust seasoning if necessary, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your preferred low-carb side dish, such as cauliflower mash or sautéed greens.
