Ingredients

fresh bratwurst links 4 to 6
onion (chopped) 1 medium
garlic cloves (chopped) 3 cloves
vegetable oil 1 tbsp
fresh mushrooms (sliced) 2 cups
tomatoes (chopped) 2 medium
cider vinegar 2 tbsp
bay leaf 1
caraway seeds 1 tsp
salt 1/2 tsp
pepper 1/2 tsp
apple juice 1 cup
cornstarch 2 tbsp
water (for thickening) 1/4 cup

Instructions

1

Brown the Sausage

In a large skillet, brown the bratwurst until they change color; drain off the oil. Remove and set aside.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

Using the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic in oil until softened. Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, vinegar, bay leaf, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

3

Simmer

Return the bratwurst to the pan. Add the apple juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-22 minutes, until the bratwurst is no longer pink.

4

Thicken the Sauce

Discard the bay leaf. Remove the bratwurst and keep warm. Mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into the sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Serve with the bratwurst.
