Beer Brats
2 tp olive oil or butter, divided
6 bratwurst
1 sweet onion, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
6 ounces beer
In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tsp of olive oil or butter.
Brown the bratwurst until they’re a deep golden brown. Do not puncture the sausages or they will become dry. Remove to a platter.
To the drippings, add the remaining tsp of olive oil or butter and the sweet onion rings.
Toss the onions to coat them with the oil.
Cook, stirring often until onions are limp and golden, but not brown.
Return the bratwurst to the onions and add the beer.
Cook over medium heat, turning midway through until the beer has cooked down to a syrup – about 12 to 15 min.
Bratwurst may be served on buns with the onions or as an entrée. Serves 6
