Ingredients

• 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the bratwurst sausages to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the butter and sauté the onions for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to slightly brown.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to create a smooth sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard, mixing well. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Return the bratwurst sausages to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes to fully cook the sausages and meld the flavors.

Step 9

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally paired with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or a side of sauerkraut for a complete meal.
