Bratwurst And Sauerkraut Skillet Recipes

Steps:

• Crush celery seeds and caraway seeds in a mortar and pestle until ground; set aside.
• Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Mix beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, black pepper, dill weed, and crushed celery and caraway seeds in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar; pour over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Uncover and raise heat to medium; boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 20 minutes. Tilt skillet to roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer sausage to a platter and keep warm. Cook and stir sauerkraut in the same skillet to mix in any leftover sauce, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with cooked bratwurst.

Steps:

• Simmer the sauerkraut for 10 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, soften the onions in the butter, browning lightly. Add the sauerkraut, wine, stock, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, turn down, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, simmer the bratwurst in water to cover for 20 minutes.
• Add the potatoes to the sauerkraut in the skillet and cook, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender.
• While the potatoes are cooking, drain the bratwurst and brown lightly on all sides under a hot broiler.
• To serve, put the sauerkraut and potatoes on a heated platter and arrange the bratwurst over the top.

Steps:

• In a large pan, heat oil over high heat. Brown bratwurst in oil and reduce heat to medium. Add onions and garlic and cook until lightly caramelized. Add stock, paprika, caraway seeds, and sauerkraut and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in fresh dill. Serve on baguette.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, sauté onions in margarine until tender.
• Add the potatoes, sauerkraut, wine, broth, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, caraway seeds, bay leaf and pepper.
• Cover and simmer for 35-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
• Stir in the bratwurst; heat through.
• Discard bay leaf.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine sauerkraut, broth, bacon, juniper berries and bay leaves. Cover and microwave until kraut is softened, about 10 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add bratwurst and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• 3. Add onion and 1/2 tsp. salt to the empty skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut mixture, apple and brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Nestle the bratwurst into the kraut, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until sausages are no longer pink in center, 10 to 12 minutes. Discard bay leaves and bacon, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. I put mine in the crockpot.
• Drain and rinse sauerkraut in a colander.
• Mix with all the ingredients in a bowl and pour into large casserole dish (or put in crockpot) Cover and bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Or let cook in crockpot on low for several hours until potatoes are tender. I usually add 1 can of water and mix well. Add more water accordingly throughout the day.
• I let mine cook all day on low.
• You can also try substituting the brown sugar with applesauce and apple chunks (1/2 cup each) for color and texture.
• I also use the Bavarian kraut--this gives this dish a sweeter flavor--even my kids like it.
