Weisswurst Sausage Recipes

PAN-FRIED WEISSWURST

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Prick holes in sausages with a fork to prevent them from bursting. Cook sausages, turning occasionally, until golden brown and heated through, about 10 minutes. Serve with potato salad.

WEISSWURST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Grind shoulder and fatback twice using medium sized grinding plate (3mm or 1/8"). Grinding the meat twice ensured that it will be extra emulsified.
• Combine the cream and eggs and use a food processor to mince the ground meat and cream/egg mixture. You don't have to use all the cream/egg mixture in this stage, but using a generous amount will help the meat to emulsify. Putting these elements through the food processor is essential to the emulsification process. It should be very runny by the end.
• Mix the remainder (if any) of the cream/eggs in a bowl with the meat and spices (all ground) until meat sticks to the sides of bowl (for myosin development).
• Stuff into hog casing, very carefully as the product will be extremely runny.
• Finish cooking in C-VAP (steam cooker) until 165 degrees internal temperature. (Usually pork based sausages only need to cook to 155 degrees internal temperature, but because eggs cook at a higher temperature it must go to 165 degrees).
• Weisswurst is traditionally served in the morning in a bowl of water with fresh chives, but here at Radler we serve it over our haus kraut with our haus mustards and a pretzel. Many places in Germany will tell you Weisswurst should be eaten only after the casing is removed, and some places will even remove it for you!
