olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is often less expensive and neutral in flavor.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add sausages to the skillet and brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Pour in the beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Add mustard, caraway seeds, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Bring to a simmer and cover, cooking for 20-25 minutes until sausages are cooked through.

Remove the lid and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to reduce the sauce.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding sugar to balance bitterness if needed.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Serve with bread rolls and sauerkraut on the side.
