About the dish

Wiener sausage from the butchering chapter in Stor kokebok (1914). The sausages are stuffed into sheep casing (gut) like fine saucisses and given a short smoking before they are boiled — the same principle as today's Wiener sausages.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Grind the meat

    Grind the beef and veal together 3 times.

  2. 2

    Season and thin

    Work the forcemeat well with salt and spices, and thin it gently, a little at a time, with the cold meat stock.

  3. 3

    The pork

    Grind the pork 2 times separately, and finally work it into the forcemeat together with the potato starch.

  4. 4

    Stuffing

    Stuff the forcemeat into sheep casing the same way as saucisses, and tie off in suitable lengths.

  5. 5

    Smoke and boil

    Smoke the sausages for 20 minutes, then boil them for 5 minutes.

Changes from the original

The quantities have been kept as printed (the original's salt amount seems very low for the amount of meat; taste as you go and reckon rather about 15–18 g salt per kg of meat). Potato flour = potato starch, muskatblomme = mace. Units are written in modern form.
