Ingredients for Beer Braised Onions Sausages

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sausages
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Green Bell Pepper
  • Brown Sugar
  • 1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer (dark beer recommended, such as stout or porter)

How to Make Beer Braised Onions Sausages

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove sausages from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add 2 large onions, thinly sliced, to the skillet and cook until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Pour in 1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer (dark beer recommended, such as stout or porter), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Return sausages to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven.
  7. Braise for 8-10 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the onions are tender.
  8. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
