Step 1

Place the bratwurst in a pan or skillet.

Step 2

Pour water on it, just enough to cover them.

Step 3

Cover the pan with a lid, then place it on the stove.

Step 4

Set heat to medium and bring to a slow boil.

Step 5

Once it's boiling, adjust the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and take the bratwurst out to proceed to either frying or grilling on the stove.

Step 7

If frying on a skillet, pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil (as little oil as possible; just enough to coat the pan) into the pan.

Step 8

Once the oil is ready, add and start frying the bratwurst, turning them over, so all sides turn brown.

Step 9

If using a grilling pan, place it on the stovetop and set the heat to medium-high.

Step 10

Once the pan is ready, start grilling the simmered bratwurst, turning them over on all sides.

Step 11

Serve right away, as a bratwurst sandwich or with some sauerkraut.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 200°C (375°F).

Step 13

Add thinly sliced onions in an oven-proof pan (or baking dish).

Step 14

Add olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika powder.

Step 15

Mix and try to coat the onion with both the oil and spices evenly.

Step 16

Add the bratwurst and mix it with the onions to get some of the spices in there.

Step 17

Cover with a lid (or with an aluminum foil).

Step 18

Place in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Step 19

Remove the cover, adjust the temperature to 220°C to 230°C (400°F to 420°F) and switch to grill, if you have that option.

Step 20

Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the bratwurst turned golden, without burning the onions.

Step 21

Remove from the oven and transfer to plates.

Step 22

Serve baked bratwurst and onions with some mashed potatoes --- garnish with spring onions, if desired.
