Instructions

Step 1: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add bratwurst and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then transfer to a plate.
Step 2: Add thinly sliced onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Add thinly sliced cabbage and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
Step 3: Sprinkle flour over cabbage mixture and stir for 1 minute to cook off raw flour. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth, then add sweet mustard and honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Return bratwurst to skillet, turning to coat in sauce, and heat through for 2 minutes. Serve hot with extra mustard on the side.
