Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Score the landjäger skin in a crosshatch pattern with a sharp knife, cutting only the casing.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the landjäger and sear 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden and skin crisps.

  3. Step 3

    Push the sausages to the side; add sliced onion to the empty space and cook 2 minutes, stirring once, until softened.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the beer and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the mustard and caraway seeds if using.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer 2–3 minutes until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon. The landjäger should be heated through.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately, spooning the mustard-beer sauce and caramelized onion over the sausages. Garnish with fresh parsley.
