Tyrolean hunting sausage

Jagdwurst is a type of boiled sausage . Alternatively, it is also ham sausage , Stuttgart or protecting sausage called.

It consists of pork (lean meat and pork belly ) and sausage meat . Beef is sometimes used in some recipes . Typical spices are pepper , mace , ginger and coriander . The North German way is the use of mustard seeds , while the South German way is the addition of chopped pistachios . The meat is coarsely minced and mixed with the basic sausage meat. Usually nitrite curing salt and color stabilizer are also added to the mass in order to give the sausage a light pink color. The sausage is then filled into artificial casings or canned food and cooked. For the Kaiserjagdwurst variant , lean pork is used and the proportion of sausage meat is lower.

It is generally eaten cold as cold cuts or fried in slices . In East Germany it is a traditional dish prepared as a hunter schnitzel. Like other types of boiled sausage, Jagdwurst is also suitable as an insert for soups or as a meat substitute for casseroles and stir-fries.

Origin of name

The name is supposed to be derived from the fact that the easily transportable sausage was taken along as food on the hunt. The term Jagdwurst first appeared in German-language literature in the 18th and 19th centuries as a term for a horse-drawn carriage that was used for hunting to transport game. Pieces of meat left over from the venison that were no longer used were processed into a sausage.
