🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 6 links sausages
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cup beer (lager or ale)
• 0.5 cup chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

2. Brown the sausages on all sides, about 5-6 minutes total. Remove the sausages from the pan and set them aside.

3. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.

4. In the same pan, add the sliced onion and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

5. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

6. Deglaze the pan by pouring in the beer and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

7. Add the chicken stock, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, and fresh thyme leaves. Stir well to combine.

8. Return the sausages to the pan and simmer in the sauce for 15-20 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the sausages are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

9. Stir in the butter, salt, and black pepper to finish the sauce.

10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
