Treat your ingredients with care...

• Sausages — Ensure that the sausages are fully cooked before serving. You can check their doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the sausages. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
• Sauerkraut — Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water before serving to reduce its acidity and enhance its flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For added flavor, you can grill the sausages instead of pan-frying them.
• Experiment with different types of sausages to create your own unique flavor combination.
• Serve the German Sausage Delight with a dollop of spicy mustard for an extra kick.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of paprika and caraway seeds.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick and delicious meal.

Serving advice

Serve the German Sausage Delight hot, with a generous portion of sauerkraut and creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sausages on a platter, surrounded by the sautéed onions and peppers. Place a mound of sauerkraut on one side and a scoop of mashed potatoes on the other. Sprinkle some paprika and caraway seeds on top for an attractive presentation.
