Bamberg onions in smoked beer sauce with mashed potatoes

Bamberg onions is a meat dish in Franconian cuisine . It consists of onions stuffed with minced meat or fried sausage in beer sauce . Traditionally, a pear-shaped, mild-tasting onion variety that is native to the Bamberg region is used. The sauce gets its typical taste from (Bamberger) smoked beer .

For preparation, larger onions (depending on the recipe, raw or pre-cooked in broth ) are hollowed out, filled with seasoned minced meat or sausage meat and then braised with a little broth in a closed pot in the oven . Towards the end the resulting sauce is supplemented with smoked beer and possibly lightly bound. Bamberg onions are served with crispy fried bacon , and the usual side dishes are mashed potatoes and sauerkraut .
