The classic Bavarian white sausage is gently hot-smoked here to give it a delicate smoky flavor. The forcemeat made from veal and pork belly remains juicy and tender. Beech wood provides a mild, harmonious smoke.

Instructions

1

Preparation

30 min.

Cut meat into cubes, chill well (below 4 °C) and grind through a 3 mm plate. Work in spices and curing salt until a cohesive mass forms. Fill into pork casings and twist off at 80 g each.

2

Drying

30 min.

Hang the filled sausages on a rack at room temperature and let them dry for 30 minutes until the surface is matte and dry.

3

Smoking

2-3 hrs.

Preheat smoker to 80 °C and add beech wood chips. Place sausages in and smoke at 75-85 °C until core temperature reaches 72-75 °C. Ensure adequate air circulation.

4

Resting

10 min.

Remove sausages from the smoker and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot with sweet mustard and pretzels.

Pro Tip

Keep a close eye on the core temperature – above 76 °C the forcemeat can dry out. A meat thermometer is essential here.
