Recipe for the Perfect Caramelized Onion Bratwurst

Bratwurst, the unapologetic king of Bavarian street food, is best served atop a mountain of caramelized onions, which are the real stars of this recipe.

Caramelization Techniques

Slow-cook those onions for 45 minutes, or until they're the perfect shade of brown.
Add 10 times the amount of sugar as onions, because who needs subtlety?
Stir in 5 times the amount of balsamic, because vinegar is just a flavor enhancer.

The Bratwurst

Get yourself a good bratwurst. The kind that's been marinating in beer for weeks.
