This is an excellent "one skillet meal."
A little back story on the sausage from Live Like a German:
Nuremberg Bratwurst - as is well known, these sausages are the
smallest in Germany, if not the world: They aren't allowed to be bigger
than 8 cm long, must not weigh more than 25 grams, and are, accordingly
thin, too.
Their history goes back to 1313, when they were first mentioned in
written form, but of course, much of their ingredients and preparation
has changed.
Why the small size?
At a time in the 16th century, when meat was very expensive and the
sausages were sold one by one, as they are today, it was simply good for
business to make them smaller. That way, the same amount of raw
material gave more sausages, so that the Nuremberg butchers could get up
to six times as much for their wares than other Franconian butchers.
As a specialty with protected region of origin, the original
Nuremberg Rostbratwürste may only be produced in this town - but of
course, there's nothing speaking against consuming the tasty small
sausages anywhere you want.
I purchased the sausages at ALDI.
I simply browned these tasty little sausages in the skillet with a little oil over medium high heat until they were heated through and nicely browned. I added a can of undrained kraut and mixed it all together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Dinner was on the table in 8 minutes! You can't beat that!
