Sauerkraut and Brats

I bought some fresh sauerkraut at  Costco, and some bratwurst.   

Ingredients:

• 1 yellow onion, sliced  
• 1 apple, slice thin
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional) 
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp cooking oil 
• 19 oz. bratwurst (5 links
• 24 oz. sauerkraut
• 1 tsp caraway seeds 
• 1/2 tsp paprika 
• 1/2 tsp black pepper 
• 1 cup chicken broth    

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium. When the oil ais hot, add the bratwurst. Cook on each side until well browned. Remove the browned bratwurst to a clean plate.
2. Add the sliced onions, apples, and garlic to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Also add in sliced mushrooms if using.
3. Drain the sauerkraut and add it to the skillet, along with the caraway seeds, paprika, pepper, and chicken broth.  Stir to combine with the apples and onions. Nestle the browned brats down in the sauerkraut.
4. Cover pan and allow the broth to come up to a simmer. Lower the heat slightly and continue to simmer the brats in the sauerkraut and broth for 20 minutes, or until the bratwurst is cooked through. Serve hot.
