Beer Glazed Brats and Sauerkraut

Ingredients

• 0.13 teaspoons celery seeds
• 0.13 teaspoons caraway seeds
• 1 can or bottle lager beer , 12 fluid ounce
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.13 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.13 teaspoons dried dill weed
• 1 pound fresh bratwurst sausages
• 1 pound sauerkraut , preferably barrel-aged

Instructions

1. 1

   Crush celery seeds and caraway seeds with a mortar and pestle until ground.

2. 2

   Mix beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, pepper, dill, and crushed seeds together in a bowl until brown sugar is dissolved.

3. 3

   Place brats into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour beer mixture over top and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Uncover and increase the heat to medium. Boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 20 minutes. Tilt the skillet to roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer brats to a plate and cover to keep warm.

5. 5

   Add sauerkraut to the skillet and stir to combine with any leftover sauce; cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with warm brats.
