Proud Henry, Brats in Vinegar Caper Sauce

Ingredients:

4 Thuringian Bratwurst sausages
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup lager beer
1/2 cup meat stock
1/2 tablespoon vinegar
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon capers
1 lemon, juice and grated zest
Salt, pepper

Preparation:

In a skillet sauté the sausages in butter until brown. Take the sausages out, sprinkle the flour into the hot butter, stirring the mixture until it thickens and turns golden. Under continuous stirring, gradually add the beer and the stock. The sauce should be thick but have no lumps. Add the vinegar and bay leaf and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the capers, lemon juice and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place the sausages back in the skillet and simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes, or until the sausages are warmed through, over low heat.
