Pinkelwurst

Cultural Context

Pinkelwurst is a traditional German sausage originating from the northern regions, particularly popular in Westphalia. It is often enjoyed during the winter months and is a staple at local festivals and gatherings. Traditionally served with kale or sauerkraut, Pinkelwurst showcases the art of sausage-making with its rich flavors and hearty ingredients. Today, variations can be found across Germany, reflecting regional tastes and preferences.

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Plunge the kale into the water and blanch for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the kale well in a colander and chop it coarsely.

2

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onions. Sauté until translucent. Add the kale and 2 cups water. Stir in the oats and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add 1 cup water in 1/4-cup increments, if necessary. The stew should be very moist but not soupy.

3

Add the pork loin and the Pinkelwurst, and cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Add the smoked sausages and up to 1/2 cup water, if necessary. Cook for 30 minutes. The smoked sausages should only be added for the last 30 minutes of the cooking time, otherwise they will burst.

4

Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Serve with boiled or caramelized potatoes.
