  2. Next add your onions, and let cook until translucent, about 7 minutes.
  3. Add your smashed garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Next add your red cabbage, salt, caraway seeds, apple cider vinegar and water.
  4. Stir and bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer and cover for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
  5. Once finished, remove from heat and keep covered until ready to serve.
Mustard:
  1. In a small bowl add all ingredients and whisk together. Set aside.
Brats:
  1. Take your cooked brats and serve generously with the rotkraut and drizzle with the sweet & spicy mustard. Eat immediately, and then eat more.
