Think of a person everyone knows. Start by saying "Today I saw...." and let others ask Yes/No questions until they can guess!

What's the best gift you ever gave to someone? What made that giving experience special?
This dish was created out of necessity one night when we could find little else in the fridge. Shocked by how easily it came together and just how tasty it was, German stir-fry quickly became a household staple. Not much about it is actually German – except for the origins of main ingredients like bratwurst, beer, mustard and cabbage. Be sure to choose fully cooked brats that need only to be browned before eating. Serve alone for a low-carb meal or with a side of rye toast or spaetzle noodles.

Ingredients
Serves 4
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 bratwursts (fully cooked), sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup beer
1 Tbsp. mustard
1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves roughly torn
1 (10 oz.) bag broccoli slaw
Instructions
In a large sauté pan, heat canola oil over high heat. Add onions and brats. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until brats are browned and onions are tender.
Stir in garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add beer and mustard. Scrape well to release browned bits from bottom.
Add kale and broccoli slaw. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt and pepper, if you like.
