Ingredients
- 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1.5 cups sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Step 2
Add the bratwurst sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausages and set them aside.
Step 3
Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
Step 4
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic in the skillet and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Step 7
Return the browned bratwurst sausages to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the sausages simmer gently in the sauce for 10 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
Step 8
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve the bratwurst and sour cream sauce warm alongside mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread.
