How to Make Beer Braised Bratwursts With Onion
- In a small resealable bag, crush 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and 1 teaspoon caraway seeds using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat.
- Add 6 bratwursts (about 1.5 lbs total) to the pot and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
- Remove bratwursts to a plate and repeat with the remaining 6 bratwursts.
- Reduce heat to low. Add the crushed seed mixture and 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
- Return the bratwursts to the pot, nestling them in the onions. Add any accumulated juices from the plate.
- Pour in 12 ounces of your favorite beer (such as a lager or pilsner). Bring to a simmer, cover, and braise for 30 minutes, turning the bratwursts once halfway through.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- While the bratwursts braise, toast your hoagie rolls. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of mustard on each roll.
- Place a bratwurst in each bun and top generously with the caramelized onions.
