What You’ll Need:
- 6-8 German Wurstel sausages
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
Start by thinly slicing the onion. This will add a sweet and savory flavor to the dish when cooked.
Step 2: Sautéing the Onions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent and slightly caramelized. This process will take around 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3: Adding Spices
Add the paprika and caraway seeds to the skillet with the onions. Stir well to coat the onions evenly with the spices.
Step 4: Cooking the German Wurstel
Push the sautéed onions to one side of the skillet and add the German Wurstel sausages. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
Step 5: Adding Chicken Broth
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, covering the sausages and onions. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. The broth will also keep the sausages moist and juicy.
Step 6: Seasoning to Taste
Season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Give the dish a quick taste to ensure the flavors are well balanced.
Serving the German Wurstel
Once the sausages are cooked through and the flavors have developed, remove them from the skillet and place them on a platter. Serve the German Wurstel with the sautéed onions and some of the flavorful broth. It pairs perfectly with artisanal mustard and freshly baked pretzels.
Now that you have mastered the art of cooking delicious German Wurstel, bring a taste of Germany to your dining table. These sausages are perfect for a cozy family dinner or hosting a German-themed gathering. Guten Appetit!
