Watch Me Make It

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• 3 bratwurst
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 lb. B-size red potatoes (about 5–7 potatoes)
• 3 medium carrots, peeled
• 1 tsp canola oil
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup lager beer
• ¼ cup whole-grain or stone-ground mustard
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves
• 5–6 parsley sprigs

Instructions

1. Cut the bacon into strips and quarter each bratwurst. Halve and slice the onion, quarter the potatoes, and cut the carrots on an angle into 1-inch pieces.
2. Set the Deluxe Multi Cooker to SEAR and press START. Heat the oil in the inner pot for 3 minutes. Add the bratwurst and brown for 2 minutes, turning once. Transfer the browned bratwurst to the small Steamer Basket.
3. Add the bacon to the inner pot and cook for 3–4 minutes. Add the onion and salt and cook another 3–4 minutes.
4. Stir in the beer, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and pressed garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes, then press CANCEL.
5. Add the potatoes to the large Steamer Basket and place the carrots on top. Nest the small basket containing the bratwurst inside the large basket, then place both baskets into the inner pot.
6. Lock the lid. Select STEAM, set the time for 3 minutes, and press START.
7. When the timer is up, press CANCEL and manually release the pressure.
8. Transfer the bratwurst and vegetables to a large serving bowl. Spoon the bacon, onion, and mustard-beer mixture from the inner pot over everything. Finish with chopped parsley and serve.

Laura’s Tip

Don’t overfill the large steamer basket. The small basket should sit level when it’s nested inside so everything steams properly.

Make It Your Own

A recipe is a guide. Cooking is an art. Swap the vegetables for ones your family will actually eat, use your favorite bratwurst, or adjust the mustard to your taste.
