German Sausage With Mustard Caper Sauce

This recipe is based on a dish my husband made for me... I, ehem, forced him to help me write it down because it was so good!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1  cup hot water
• 1  beef bouillon cube
• 1⁄2 lb  bratwursts (your favorite sausage) or 1⁄2 lb kielbasa (your favorite sausage)
• 1  teaspoon olive oil (none needed for sausages with more fat)

Directions

1. Put bouillon cube in hot water to dissolve.
2. Meanwhile, cut sausage into 1/2 to 1-inch pieces.
3. Heat pan to medium, add oil, then sausage.
4. While cooking, turn pieces of meat so that sides are braised.
5. Mix together now-dissolved water and bouillon, mustard, honey, wine, minced shallot, and capers.
6. After meat is well-braised (about 7 to 10 minutes), raise the heat to medium high and add mixture to pan.
7. Simmer for another 7 to 10 minutes, letting it reduce some.
8. Mix together the corn starch and cold water, making sure it's not lumpy, and gradually add to the pan while stirring continuously.
