Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add blutwurst slices in a single layer. Sear without moving until edges brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 3
Transfer sausage to a plate. Add onion and caraway seeds to the same skillet, stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in sauerkraut and broth. Simmer for 4 minutes until kraut is warm and liquid reduces slightly.
Step 5
Return blutwurst to the skillet. Drizzle with mustard, toss gently, and cook for 1 minute to heat through.
Step 6
Serve immediately in a shallow bowl or plate.
