Bratwurst can be cooked in a variety of ways including grilled, pan-fried, or even smoked. I personally enjoy the traditional method of cooking it on the stove top while using ingredients like beer to add a more pungent flavour to it.

Bratwurst can be served with a side of sauerkraut, potato salad, or on a freshly baked Brötchen (bread roll).

Guten Appetit!

Ingredients

4 bratwurst sausages
1/2 cup water
1 cup of dark beer

Directions

Heat 1/2 cup of water in large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the sausages, cover, and simmer until water is evaporated. This may take several minutes.

Keep in mind that some sausages may have a lot of fat residue. If you have too much juice within your saucepan, you can drain a bit of it.

Uncover and reduce heat. Continue to cook sausages until they are lightly brown on both sides.

Add 1 cup of beer and simmer for an additional 5 minutes or more.

Serve warm.
