Adrio ( French Atriau ) is a popular Swiss boiled sausage . However, the Adrio is not filled into an intestinal skin , but rather wrapped in a pig net (net of the pork belly fur ). The filling consists of finely ground sausage meat made from pork or veal (or a mixture of both) and originally diced pork or veal liver .

Ingredients and preparation

Uncooked atriaux

Even if the name Adrio was originally derived from liver , today it is mostly prepared without liver. Other innards are also uncommon today. After the Swiss Food Manual (SLMB) 1999 Adrio consists of muscle meat from veal and pork, bacon , veal skopf or rinds and pork net. So even a so-called veal adrio always contains a high proportion of “pork parts ”, mainly bacon and the typical net. As spices for the sausage meat u. a. Garlic, onions, salt, pepper, thyme and parsley are used.

The Adrio is prepared in different ways. In addition to the original braising and stewing , it can also be fried or grilled be. The pieces are rarely larger than 500 grams and are served in slices about five to eight millimeters thick. As an alternative, there are mini-Adrios in the portion size of around 150 to 250 grams. You can buy Adrios ready-made from the butcher or prepare it yourself from sausage meat .
