German Fattie
« Reply #-1 on: February 06, 2012, 03:21:44 PM »
I wasn't quite sure in which section to post this. It has homemade sausage so I guess Charcuterie fits. Feel free to move it if appropriate.

I'm always looking for new fattie ideas. I hadn't made one in a while and I have a new Bratwurst recipe to try, so a German Fattie seemed to be the ticket.

Two pounds of ground pork, the spice mix & some water ready to be mixed.



Mixing the Bratwurst


Assemble the fattie with some cheese & grilled onion, then roll up in a bacon weave.


A little course black pepper then onto the MAK for a Smokin' good time! Cooked at 350° to an I.T. 165°


Well, it sure smells good!


Looks good too.


Served with some Kraut & Mustard Potato Salad.



Wow do I like this recipe. Without a doubt, some of the best Bratwurst I've ever had.

This was an old world German brat recipe, not a Wisconsin style Beer Brat which usually adds sugar. It had that classic Bratwurst taste you get from the Nutmeg, but it was deeper and more complex with the addition of the caraway, which is not usually in Wisconsin style brats.

Definitely a keeper!

Thanks.

I was going to use Gouda since it's a German cheese, but we had a few slices of Meunster already open.  Although not technically a German cheese, it's named after the German city of Münster, so I figured it was close enough, lol.  ::)

Bill

I modified this from the recipe found on http://www.wedlinydomowe.com

Here's the amounts I used (I go for lower salt):

2 Lbs Fresh Ground Pork
1 1/2 tsp. Pickling Salt  (original called for 1 TBS - too much salt for me- adjust for your taste)
1 tsp. White or Black pepper  (white is traditional, I like course ground black for the look)
1 tsp Marjoram
1/2 tsp Caraway
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Ginger, ground
1/4 Cup cold Water

Mix the spices & water together, add to the meat & mix thoroughly.



Thanks again! :)
