Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Sausages (pork, chicken, or beef as preferred)
- 3 medium Yellow onions
- 1 cup Beer (lager or ale)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 loaf Baguette or crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly oiled baking dish. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the onions into half-moons.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the oil and butter. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and begin to caramelize.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions and stir for 1 minute to incorporate.
Pour in the beer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Stir in Dijon mustard, fresh thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the onions for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the onions are tender and flavorful.
While the onions are simmering, roast the sausages in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway, until browned and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C for pork/chicken sausages or as specified by the package instructions).
Remove the thyme sprigs from the onions and discard.
Serve the roasted sausages hot, topped with the beer-braised onions. Optionally, pair with slices of baguette or crusty bread for a complete meal.
