Ingredients
- 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup beer (optional, for deglazing)

Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the onions.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Step 4
Place the bratwurst sausages in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, and sauté for 8–10 minutes until golden and soft.
Step 6
Stir in the minced garlic, red chili flakes, paprika, and brown sugar. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.

Season the onions with salt and black pepper. Add the beer, if using, to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Cook until the liquid is mostly reduced.
