The method
Step by step
- 1
Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Do not boil the water vigorously, as this can cause the weisswurst casings to burst.
- 2
Once simmering, carefully add the weisswurst to the hot water.
- 3
Heat the weisswurst for 8-10 minutes, ensuring they are warmed through but not boiling.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: The water should remain just below a boil, with small bubbles forming at the bottom of the pan.
- 4
While the sausages are heating, prepare your serving plates with sweet mustard and pretzels.
Cook’s note: Traditional sweet mustard is key for an authentic experience.
- 5
Carefully remove the weisswurst from the water with tongs and place them on the prepared plates.
- 6
Serve immediately with a cold wheat beer, if desired.
Cook’s note: In Bavaria, it's customary to 'zuzeln' (suck) the sausage meat directly from the casing, though you can also use a knife and fork.
