i set out with the intention of making my own sauerkraut. really, how hard could it be? after much research and consideration i've realized that this just is not possible. sauerkraut takes weeks, if not months, to ferment and acquire the perfect flavor. and you can't just make a little... while i love preparing meals from scratch, i just can't justify making 5 pounds of sauerkraut when we really only need about half a cup. so in the end, the star of this meal was the beer brat. mmm-mmhmmm delicious!
1 pint bottle guinness
2 tbs butter
1/2 small sweet onion, sliced
4 bratwurst
in a medium sauce pan heat beer and butter until butter is melted. add bratwurst and onion slices. simmer over medium-low heat until the beer has reduced into a syrupy sauce, about 1 hour. turn bratwurst about every 10 minutes to prevent burning. serve with sauerkraut, mustard, and toasted bread rolls.
easy, cheap, and yummy!
