The Left=Handed Cookbook: Brats & Kraut

4 slices thick-sliced bacon, chopped

Bratwurst (2 lbs.)

1 tbl Extra-Virgin olive oil

1 large onion, sliced

32 oz jar sauerkraut

2 tbl sugar

½ cup white wine

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and push to one side. Arrange bratwurst on other side in concentric circles. Brown bratwurst, about 4 minutes a side, meanwhile stirring chopped bacon to crisp up. Remove bratwurst to holding plate. Add onion to skillet and sauté until soft and browned, around 8 minutes. Add sugar and stir, about 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add wine. Boil, scraping up browned bits, about 3 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut and bring to boil. Arrange bratwurst on top of kraut and cover. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 45 minutes.

Serve with oven fries.
