Ingredients
  

For the spicy apricot sauce

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons chili oil
  • 1 Tablespoon apricot preserves
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ½ Yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 Cup dried apricots chopped
  • ¼ Cup water
  • ⅛ Cup white wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other

  • 8 Brats
  • 8 Buns

Instructions
 

  • Heat the chili oil and olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the onions start to soften; about 3 minutes. Add the dried apricots, stir and cook for a few minutes longer.
  • Add the preserves, mustard, and sriracha and cook for another few minutes. Add the water if the sauce starts to get too thick.
  • Add the wine and cook down for about 5 minutes. Keep the sauce warm until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, cook the brats. Add a little oil to a cast iron pan or grill pan and cook the brats until browned and snappy. About 8 minutes.
  • Top the brats with the apricot sauce and enjoy!
