BRAUNSCHWEIGER POTATO HASH



Braunschweiger Potato Hash image

I was making breakfast one morning and decided I wanted some kind of meat to go with my eggs and fried potatoes. All we had on hand was some braunschweiger, so I tossed some in the pan with the potatoes and this dish was born.

BRAUNSCHWEIGER BANH MI



Braunschweiger Banh Mi image

In this Midwestern take on a banh mi, we've sandwiched as many up-and-coming food trends as we could manage without violating good taste. We stuffed vegetables, wood flavor, bitterness, real fast food and the Midwest (represented by fried pork, wood-smoked Braunschweiger liverwurst and caraway) into a grand banh mi mash-up. Now if only we could nab it from a passing dim sum cart in a gastropub, our year would be close to complete. If 2014 tastes anything like this sandwich, it'll be an adventuresome and comforting year ahead.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 cup cauliflower florets
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds, lightly crushed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small carrot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
1/2 small jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced
4 thin boneless pork cutlets (about 8 ounces total), pounded to 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Two 12-inch baguettes
Mayonnaise, such as Kewpie, for serving
Spicy brown mustard, for serving
1/2 pound braunschweiger liverwurst
1/2 English cucumber, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 small bunch watercress
1 cup loosely-packed fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems
Sriracha, for serving

Steps:

  • For the caraway pickled cauliflower: Cut the florets into 1/4-inch-thick slices. It's alright if the pieces break apart. Combine the vinegar, sugar, caraway seeds, 1/3 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat, add the cauliflower and carrot and stir. Allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • For the garlic fish sauce: Whisk together the fish sauce, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, garlic, jalapeno and 2 teaspoons water in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • For the fried pork cutlets: Lightly sprinkle the cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, dusting off any excess. Then dip in the egg and, finally, coat with the breadcrumbs. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, fry two cutlets until browned, crispy and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to the pan and repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  • For the sandwiches: Trim and discard the bread heels from the baguettes. Halve each so you have a total of four 6-inch pieces. Split each piece lengthwise about 3/4 of the way and press it open like a book. Generously spread the top halves with mayonnaise and the bottom halves with mustard and liverwurst. Arrange the baguettes on a baking sheet and bake until warm, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Top the bottom half of each baguette with a pork cutlet (halve the cutlets for fit, if necessary) and some of the cucumber, onion, caraway-pickled cauliflower, watercress and cilantro. Top each with a drizzle of garlic fish sauce and a squirt of Sriracha and serve.

BRAUNSCHWEIGER SPREAD

I love braunschweiger. I remember my dad used to love a braunschweiger sandwich with lettuce and onion. As a kid I liked them as well and still do. I don't eat it often but every once in a while I want some. Made the spread today. I usually like it on crackers. But sometimes a half sandwich with some milk-sweetened onion slices...

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use the best quality pork, liver, and spices you can find. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the braunschweiger.
  • Grind the meat and liver finely: This will ensure that the braunschweiger has a smooth, even texture.
  • Season the meat and liver generously: Use a variety of spices, such as garlic, onion, paprika, and cayenne pepper, to give the braunschweiger a flavorful kick.
  • Stuff the braunschweiger casing tightly: This will help to prevent the braunschweiger from falling apart during cooking.
  • Cook the braunschweiger slowly and carefully: The braunschweiger should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking it too quickly can cause the braunschweiger to become dry and tough.
  • Let the braunschweiger cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the braunschweiger from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Braunschweiger is a delicious and versatile sausage that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be served as an appetizer, main course, or sandwich filling. It is also a great addition to charcuterie boards and picnics. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own braunschweiger at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
