Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bratwurst sausages
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 can (12 oz) Low carb beer
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the bratwurst sausages and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Pour in the low carb beer and allow it to come to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Add the beef broth, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Return the bratwurst sausages to the skillet, nestling them among the onions and liquid.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the sausages simmer in the liquid for about 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they're cooked evenly.

Step 9

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly and the sausages to brown a bit more, about 5 more minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
