Ingredients:
- 2 lbs veal ๐ฅฉ
- 1 1/2 lbs pork ๐ท
- 1 cup suet, finely chopped ๐ง
- 1 cup heavy cream ๐ฅ
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives ๐ฟ
- 1 onion, finely chopped ๐ง
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt ๐ง
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ๐ถ๏ธ
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mace ๐ฐ
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg ๐ฐ
- Sheep casings, soaked and rinsed ๐งโ๐ณ
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Meat: Begin by grinding the veal and pork through a meat grinder three times. This ensures a fine texture for the sausages. Make sure to keep the meat chilled throughout the process to maintain its firmness.
-
Chop the Suet: Finely chop the suet, which will add a rich, fatty flavor to the bockwurst. Set aside.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground veal and pork with the chopped suet, heavy cream, chives, and finely chopped onion. Add salt, pepper, mace, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
-
Stuff the Casings: Rinse the sheep casings well and soak them in water. Stuff the sausage mixture into the casings, being careful not to overfill. Tie the casings into 4 to 5-inch lengths using kitchen twine.
-
Cook the Bockwurst: Place the stuffed sausages in a large pot and cover them with hot water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the sausages for about 15 minutes. This cooking process will help to firm up the sausages and infuse them with the rich flavors of the seasonings.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, allow the bockwurst to cool slightly before serving. These sausages are delicious on their own or paired with your favorite mustard and sauerkraut. Perfect for a hearty meal or a special occasion!
