Braised Bratwursts with Onion Jam
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
  • 5 to 6 uncooked bratwursts
  • 2 medium sweet yellow onions, sliced into ¼-inch-thick rings
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ΒΌ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 cups beef stock, preferably low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 5 to 6 hoagie rolls (or gluten free rolls), toasted
  • Sweet-hot mustard, or more dijon mustard, for serving
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until foaming. Add the bratwursts and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Remove the bratwursts and reserve.
  2. Reduce the heat to low, add the onions, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and caramelized, about 30 minutes. Stir in the dijon mustard.
  3. Add the reserved bratwursts and any accumulated juices, nestling the brats in the onions. Pour in the beef stock and vinegar, increase the heat to medium and braise the bratwursts, turning every few minutes, until they are completely cooked through and the liquid has almost completely reduced, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  4. Place a bratwurst in each bun and serve with the onion jam and extra mustard on the side.
