4 servings
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 fresh pork bratwurst links (about 1 ¼ lb total)
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium apple (such as granny smith or honeycrisp), cored and thinly sliced
- 2 cups sauerkraut, drained
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- 1 tsp whole-grain mustard
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the bratwurst links and sear, turning with tongs every 2 minutes, until deeply browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer the sausages to a plate — they will not be fully cooked through yet.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden at the edges, about 6 minutes.
