Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bratwurst sausages
• 12 oz Keto-friendly beer
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 leaves Bay leaves
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter until it sizzles.

Step 2

Add the bratwurst sausages to the skillet, browning each side for about 2-3 minutes. Remove the sausages and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour the keto-friendly beer into the skillet, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze and incorporate all the browned bits.

Step 6

Return the bratwurst sausages to the skillet and add bay leaves, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low.

Step 8

Let it braise for 30 minutes, occasionally turning the sausages to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaves, adjust seasoning if necessary, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your preferred low-carb side dish, such as cauliflower mash or sautéed greens.
