Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Bratwursts | 6 |
| Onions (large, thinly sliced) | 2 |
| Garlic (minced) | 2 cloves |
| Olive Oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Butter | 2 tablespoons |
| Beer (pilsner or lager) | 12-ounce bottle |
| Beef Broth | 1 cup |
| Dijon Mustard | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | To taste |
| Pepper | To taste |
| Parsley (fresh, chopped) | Optional (for garnish) |
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Caramelize onions: In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn soft and golden brown (about 20-25 minutes).
- Sauté garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes more until fragrant.
- Add brats: Nestle the bratwursts among the onions in the skillet.
- Create braising liquid: Pour beer and beef broth into the skillet, ensuring the brats are mostly submerged. Stir in Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer on stovetop: Bring the mixture to a simmer on the stovetop.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until the brats are cooked through and have absorbed the flavors.
- Garnish (optional): Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
