- Preparation: 5 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (208 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten, mustard, pork
Ingredients
- 150 g Pork sausages, fresh
- 50 g Bread rolls, hard
- 8 g Mustard
Method
- Weisswurst are a delicate veal-and-pork sausage that should never be boiled hard; if you can't find them, other fresh raw pork sausages make a reasonable stand-in.
- Bring a large pan of water to just below a simmer, with only the odd small bubble, add the sausages, and heat gently for 10-15 minutes until cooked through with no pink remaining (74 °C/165 °F).
- Lift the sausages out of the water and let them drain briefly.
- Serve warm with the bread roll (or a pretzel, if you have one) and a generous spoonful of sweet mustard, traditionally as a late-morning snack.
