Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sausages (preferably smoked or bratwurst)
- 3 cups sauerkraut
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, to balance tanginess)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the onion into thin half-moons and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sausages to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
Stir in the garlic, caraway seeds, and smoked paprika, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sauerkraut to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion mixture.
Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and brown sugar (if using). Stir everything together.
Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the sauerkraut mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve hot, alongside mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or as desired.
