Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Vegan bratwurst sausages
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1.5 cups Vegan-friendly dark beer
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegan bratwurst sausages and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown.
Pour in the vegan-friendly dark beer and vegetable broth; stir well to combine.
Mix in the Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add the bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, mixing everything together.
Return the browned vegan bratwurst to the skillet, nestling them into the liquid.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let the sausages simmer in the beer mixture for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Check the seasoning and adjust with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Remove the bay leaf and discard.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm, alongside your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or a fresh garden salad.
