A delightful twist on a classic dish, combining savory sausages with tangy sauerkraut for a comforting meal.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat until it starts to sizzle.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Stir in the sauerkraut, water, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar, mixing well.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Nestle the sausages into the sauerkraut mixture, ensuring they are partially submerged.
Positioning the sausages this way allows them to absorb the flavors of the sauerkraut.
Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the mixture doesn't dry out completely; add a splash of water if needed.
Serve the sausages and sauerkraut warm, accompanied by crusty bread or your favorite side.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
