- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 apple
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked pepper
- ¼ tsp caraway seeds
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 2 cloves garlic
- 19 oz batwurst
- 24 z sauerkraut
Thinly slice the onion and apple, and finely mince the garlic.
Heat cooking oil in a large, deep skillet or wide pot over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the bratwurst and cook until browned on all sides (it doesn’t need to be fully cooked yet).
Transfer the browned bratwurst to a plate.
In the same pan, sauté the onion, apple, and garlic for about 5 minutes, until the onions are soft.
Drain the sauerkraut and add it to the pan along with caraway seeds, paprika, pepper, and chicken broth.
Stir to combine the mixture.
Return the bratwurst to the skillet, nestling it into the sauerkraut mixture.
Cover the skillet and bring the broth to a simmer.
Reduce the heat slightly and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the bratwurst is fully cooked.
