Ingredients

  • 4 vegan bratwurst links (such as Impossible or Beyond)
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter, divided
  • ¾ cup vegan beer, (half of a 12 oz bottle or can)
  • 1 yellow onion, thick slices
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 4 buns
  • Optional Toppings: sauerkraut, spicy mustard

Instructions

  • Slice the onions and heat a medium-sized pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the butter to the pan.
  • Sear the vegan brats by cooking them for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove them from the pan for now.
  • Add the remaining butter along with the onions, salt, pepper, oregano, and brown sugar to the pan. Stir occasionally as they cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the onions start to caramelize.
  • Place the brats over the onions, pour half of a bottle of vegan beer into the pan, and sprinkle the caraway seeds over everything. Lower the heat to medium.
  • Turn the brats occasionally as they cook. Keep the pan at a low boil till the beer has reduced to a sauce (9-10 minutes).
  • Serve the brats on buns, top them with some of the onion sauce, and add any of your favorite toppings such as sauerkraut and spicy mustard.
