How to cook deliciously - Sausages and Sauerkraut

1 . Stage

In a large skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium high. Prick sausages all over with the tip of a knife and add to the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

2 . Stage

Add the onion, potatoes, caraway, and nutmeg to the skillet and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beer and the bay leaf and bring to a simmer. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes.

3 . Stage

Uncover the skillet and add the sauerkraut and apple juice. Nestle the sausages among the potatoes and sauerkraut and return skillet to a simmer. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife and sausages are just cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
