Beer & Bratwurst

So this will be one of my first food post on the blog hope to do more if anyone has any ideas. I'm looking mostly to post about German dishes if you want to post one in comments I will research how to cook it then perfect it before telling you how I did it.

What you will need is 4-5 average size sweet onions, 5 Bratwurst, some olive oil & at least 1 12oz St. Pauli Girl imported German lager.

Brown the Bratwurst on both sides in a 14" skillet/frying pan with some olive oil use tongs to flip them you do not want to break the skin. remove then once they are browned do not worry about cooking them through this is mostly to help flavor the onions. Throw the Onions which need to be precut into rings into the pan with the grease and oil you will most likely want to add some more oil at this point stir them every few minutes till they are all golden but not browned. Add the Bratwurst back to the pan pushing the Onions around them so they are touching the button. Add the full 12oz bottle of St. Pauli Girl to the pan and cover cook till the beer is almost all cooked out and rotate the Onions and the Bratwurst every 3-6 minutes. This was all done with a gas stove set to 7 out of 10 the lager should cook down within 30 or so minutes. Wal-Mart sells some larger hot dog buns in the bakery called all natural hot dog rolls which work amazing with these.

All items needed for this can be found at Wal-Mart main reason St Pauli Girl was used.

The final product


Biggest challenge is smelling it cook and not taking it off to eat until the beer as cooked down properly but it is well worth the wait.
