Roasted Sausages with Beer-Braised Onions

By Nemo

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 3 onions (1.5 lbs total), peeled and slivered lengthwise
• 1 cup stout or dark beer (such as Guinness)
• 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
• salt and pepper
• 8 sausages (1.5-2 lbs. total; see notes)
• 2 tbsp. chopped parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Pour oil into a 10- to 12-inch ovenproof frying pan over high heat; when hot, add onions and stir often until slightly limp and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in stout and thyme; cook until liquid is reduced by about half, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.

Prick sausages all over with the tip of a sharp knife and arrange in a single layer on onion mixture.

Bake in a 375 degree regular or convection oven until sausages are heated through (cut to test), about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
