Step 1
Slice onions into thin half-moons. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers.
Step 2
Add onions with a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally until golden and caramelized, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Push onions to the side. Nestle sausages into the pan, sear 2 minutes per side without moving them.
Step 4
Sprinkle coriander, paprika, and thyme over the sausages. Cook 3 minutes until edges look deeply browned.
Step 5
Drizzle vinegar and brown sugar over everything. Toss to coat, then remove from heat.
Step 6
Serve sausages over caramelized onions with pan juices spooned on top.
