Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Pierce each sausage 2–3 times with a fork.
Step 2
Sear sausages 3–4 minutes per side until the casing splits and edges brown, turning occasionally. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden.
Step 4
Stir in paprika and caraway seeds. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in broth and mustard.
Step 5
Return sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the onion mixture. Simmer 3–4 minutes until sauce reduces slightly.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh parsley or dill. Serve hot with crusty bread or boiled potatoes.
