Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut

If you like bratwurst sausages, you’ll love this German dinner — 35 minutes from craving to table. Each serving lands at 700 calories with 36g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 8 Bratwurst sausages
• 2 cups Sauerkraut
• 1 Yellow onion
• 1 Apples
• 1 tsp Caraway seeds
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 320 g Dinner rolls

Steps

1. Prick the bratwurst a few times with a fork so they don’t burst — just enough to vent steam, not to drain the juices.
2. Simmer them gently in the chicken broth in a covered skillet over medium-low heat, 8 minutes per side, until nearly cooked through.
3. Uncover, raise the heat, and brown the sausages in their own rendered fat, turning until deeply golden on all sides.
4. Meanwhile, soften the sliced onion in a second pot, then add the sauerkraut, grated apple, caraway, and a splash of the sausage broth. Braise 15 minutes until the flavors marry and the kraut turns silky.
5. Toast the rolls, tuck in two sausages each, and pile the warm sauerkraut over the top. Mustard is not optional — it’s the whole point.
