Slow-Cooked Bratwurst and Beer-Braised Beans

Ingredients

• 8 bratwurst sausages
• 800 g haricot beans
• 330 ml lager beer
• 2 onion
• 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
• 1 tsp caraway seeds
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a large lidded casserole. Brown the bratwursts for 5 minutes, turning, then remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Slice the onions into half-moons and fry in the same pan for 8 minutes until golden and softened.

3. 3

   Stir in the caraway seeds and mustard, then pour in the lager. Scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan.

4. 4

   Drain and rinse the haricot beans and add to the pan with the vinegar. Nestle the bratwursts back in.

5. 5

   Cover and cook on a low heat for 30 minutes. Remove the lid for the final 10 minutes to reduce the sauce. Serve with rye bread.
