Beer Braised Bratwurst Sausages, Cranberry Gravy, Sweet Potato Purée with Fresh Herbs<

By Chef Deniz Tarakcioglu

Ingredients:

  • 4 x Bratwurst or favourite fresh sausages
  • 2 medium sized yams
  • 30mL maple syrup
  • 100mL cranberries
  • 50mL demi glacé
  • 200mL butter

  • 50mL chopped fresh herbs, parsley, green onion etc.
  • 30mL grainy mustard
  • 1 fennel thinly shaved
  • 1 lemon, juiced

  • Preheat your oven to 400F. Roast the yams until caramelized and soft in their own skins. While it is still hot, scoop the meat into a food processor, add 100ml butter, maple syrup, season with salt, fold in mustard and keep warm.
  • In a medium sized pan, place the sausages, 100ml butter and most of the beer but 50ml. Turn the heat on to medium and let it come to a boil.
