Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 Whole30-compliant bratwurst sausages
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 large Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 1 tablespoon Whole30-compliant mustard
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 head Cabbage (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Slice the onion thinly and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the ghee over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Remove the onion and garlic from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, brown the Whole30-compliant bratwurst sausages for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely seared.
Return the sautéed onion and garlic to the skillet.
Pour in the beef broth and apple cider, stirring to combine.
Add the Whole30-compliant mustard, caraway seeds, sauerkraut, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, ensuring the bratwurst are mostly submerged in the liquid.
Cover the skillet and let simmer for about 25 minutes, occasionally turning the bratwurst.
While simmering, slice the optional cabbage and sauté it in a separate pan with additional ghee if desired, until tender.
After the bratwurst have simmered, remove the cover and continue to cook for another 5 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
Serve the bratwurst hot, with the cabbage and sauerkraut mixture, relishing the smoky, savory flavors.
