Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Chill all meat, fat, and equipment (grinder parts, mixing bowl) thoroughly in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before starting.
Aproximativ 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: Keeping everything very cold prevents fat from smearing and ensures a better texture.
- 2
Grind the veal through the fine die of a meat grinder into a chilled mixing bowl.
Aproximativ 5 min.
- 3
Grind the pork fatback through the fine die of a meat grinder into the same bowl as the veal.
Aproximativ 5 min.
- 4
Add the salt, white pepper, ground mace, ground ginger, ground cardamom, minced onion, chopped parsley, and lemon zest to the ground meat and fat.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 5
Begin mixing the ingredients by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, gradually adding the ice water until the mixture becomes cohesive and sticky.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not overmix, as this can make the sausage tough.
- 6
Attach the sausage stuffer attachment to your meat grinder or stand mixer.
Aproximativ 1 min.

Carefully feed the soaked pork casing onto the stuffing horn, leaving a small tail at the end.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the casing is free of tangles and air pockets.
- 8
Begin stuffing the sausage mixture into the casing, being careful not to overfill or leave large air pockets.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use a pin to prick any visible air bubbles in the stuffed sausage.

Once the casing is filled, twist the sausage into individual links, approximately 10-12 cm long.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Alternate the direction of twisting for each link to secure them.
- 10
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer (around 80-85°C / 175-185°F). The water should not boil.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: A food thermometer is useful here to maintain the correct temperature.
- 11
Carefully add the Weisswurst links to the simmering water.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.
- 12
Poach the sausages for 10-15 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and cooked through.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Weisswurst should never be boiled, as this can cause the casings to burst.
- 13
Remove the cooked Weisswurst from the water and serve immediately.
Nota bucătarului: Traditionally served with sweet mustard and a pretzel.
